CONWAY, S.C. (WMBF) – A Horry County jury ruled in favor of a former business owner in the Myrtle Beach Superblock who filed a lawsuit against the city.
According to court documents, at the end of a three-day jury trial that began June 21, the jury reached a verdict finding the city of Myrtle Beach tortiously interfered with plaintiff Henry Brewington’s contract to sell Levelz Bar and Grill and awarded $500,000 in damages.
An order on post-trial motions states the amount was reduced to $300,000 to bring it into compliance with the Tort Claims Act.
In February 2017, Henry and Virginia Brewington filed a lawsuit against the city of Myrtle Beach and demanded a jury trial. According to court documents, the two entered into a five-year lease agreement in April 2014 for property located at 515 9th Ave. North, an area referred to as the Superblock.
