Heading: Summary Judgment Was Properly Granted on the Counterclaims

Text: Next, Platinum Plus and Heartbreakers argue the trial court erred in granting summary judgment on their counterclaims because there were disputed material issues of fact which preclude summary judgment. In our opinion, however, these fact findings are either clearly undisputed or not material to resolution of the issues. See Rule 56(c), SCRCP (judgment shall be rendered if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law). In addition, we agree with the County that Platinum Plus has not appealed several of the trial court's rulings which preclude, as a matter of law, its negligence claim. [12] E.g., ML-Lee Acquisition Fund, L.P. v. Deloitte & Touche, 327 S.C. 238, 489 S.E.2d 470 (1997) (unappealed ruling is the law of the case).
