Stone v. Thompson

Syllabus
We granted certiorari to determine whether a family court order finding a common-law marriage was immediately appealable under our general appealability statute, S.C. Code Ann. § 14-3-330. Because the order involved the merits of the causes of action, we hold it was appealable and reverse the court of appeals.
