The SC Bar CLE Division is pleased to present “Business Torts in South Carolina.” This special half-day seminar features three lively panel discussions on the present and future of business torts and e-discovery taught by a distinguished and experienced array of judges and practitioners.  We are also very pleased to debut the brand-new SC Bar CLE publication, South Carolina Business Torts by Cory E. Manning.  Each registrant will receive a copy of this important new Bar book!  If you litigate business torts from either the defense or plaintiff perspective, or represent any size business in South Carolina, you won’t want to miss this powerful program or this new publication! 

In its First Edition, South Carolina Business Torts, by Cory E. Manning, provides the practitioner with comprehensive research of South Carolina law on those causes of action that frequently arise in business tort scenarios and commercial disputes.  Well organized and replete with case law, it is mainly intended as a research starting point; however, more in-depth treatment is provided in many areas that Manning has seen in his years as a commercial litigator and as an adjunct professor on this area of the law.  In addition, the book includes a discussion of the origin and development of common law surrounding these causes of action, which can assist practitioners in focusing and contextualizing their research and arguments based on the same.     

The book covers and discusses the following causes of action: 

-        Breach of Contract Accompanied by a Fraudulent Act

-        Breach of Fiduciary Duty

-        Civil Conspiracy

-        Defamation

-        Fraud/Misrepresentation

-        Insurance Bad Faith

-        Interference with Contractual Relationship
