S.C. R. Civ. P. 80

As amended through June 24, 2024

Rule 80 - Stenographic Report of Transcript As Evidence

Whenever the testimony of a witness at a trial or hearing which was stenographically reported is admissible in evidence at a later trial, it may be offered in evidence by a copy of the transcript thereof duly certified by the person who reported the testimony or the clerk of court having custody of the original transcript.

S.C. R. Civ. P. 80

This Rule 80 is substantially the same as the Federal Rule. It avoids the need to produce the original notes, or the stenographer, to prove the transcript of a trial or hearing.
