The Estate of Jane Doe 202 v. City of North Charleston

Syllabus

This Court granted a writ of certiorari to review the court of appeals' decision in Est. of Doe 202 by Doe MM v. City of N. Charleston, 433 S.C. 444, 858 S.E.2d 814 (Ct. App. 2021), holding that the trial court acted within its discretion in not repeating jury instruction on nominal damages in response to jury question. We affirm the court of appeals in result, but also hold that when a trial judge receives an ambiguous question from the jury, the trial court must seek clarification from the jury.
