20596

270 S.C. 194 (1978)

241 S.E.2d 556

Marion LOWERY, Respondent, v. The WADE HAMPTON COMPANY, Appellant.

Supreme Court of South Carolina.

February 7, 1978.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

F. Barron Grier, III, of Richardson, Plowden, Grier & Howser, Columbia, for Appellant.

Kirby D. Shealy, Jr., of Wise, Wise & Shealy, Columbia, for Respondent.

February 7, 1978.

GREGORY, Justice.

This appeal is from the order of the lower court denying appellant's motion for a judgment on the pleadings. At issue is whether respondent's action against appellant for loss of consortium is barred by the Workmen's Compensation Law, Section 42-1-540, 1976 Code of Laws of South Carolina. We hold the action is barred and reverse.
