2025 SCMR 303
Procedural law---Prospective and retrospective application---Outcome of legislation or changes in law that pertain solely to the procedures or legal remedies indicates that if legislation is enacted with the primary intent to alter or modify procedural aspects without prejudicing the rights of the litigants, then no doubt, it will apply to all pending and future actions---Individuals do not possess a vested right in any particular course of procedure, so for all intents and purposes, the change in the law of procedure operates retrospectively---However, laws affecting, curtailing or prejudicing vested rights shall be applied prospectively.
