Columbia Swim Instructor Sues City Over Business License Revocation After Neighbor Complaint
Libby Souder, a swim instructor in Columbia, South Carolina, has filed a lawsuit against the city after her business license was revoked following a neighbor's complaint. Souder had been offering private swim lessons in her backyard pool for several years without issue, renewing her business license annually. However, a new neighbor complained about noise and traffic, leading the city to issue violation notices and eventually revoke her license. Souder argues that the city's decision infringes on her property rights and ability to run a home-based business. The case may reach the South Carolina Supreme Court, as it raises questions about government regulation and individual property rights.
