Reggie Wells v. Vetech, LLC
Syllabus
Reggie K. Wells sued Respondents for unjust enrichment and violation of the South Carolina Wage Payment Act, S.C. Code Ann. §§ 41–10–10 to –110 (2021) (the Act). His claims included a request for treble damages and attorney's fees under the Act, as well as costs. A month after answering Wells' complaint, Respondents filed a Rule 68, SCRCP offer of judgment, offering for Wells to \take judgment for all claims alleged\ in the \total amount\ of $5,968.89. Wells accepted the offer and, on the same day, filed a motion seeking an award of treble damages, attorney's fees, and costs under the Act and Rule 54, SCRCP. After a hearing that consisted only of oral argument and submission of exhibits, the trial court denied Wells' motion, ruling in a Form 4 order that \there was no record from which to determine whether attorney's fees and treble damages were appropriate\ under the Act. Wells now appeals. Finding no error, we affirm
