The South Carolina Request To Withhold Issuance of Summons is a legal document used by a defendant to request that the court not issue a summons. It is used when a defendant is attempting to reach an agreement with the plaintiff and wants to avoid a trial or other formal court process. There are two types of South Carolina Request To Withhold Issuance of Summons: a Request to Withhold Issuance of Summons (Form PT-605) and a Motion to Withhold Issuance of Summons (Form PT-605A). The Request to Withhold Issuance of Summons (Form PT-605) is used by the defendant to ask the court to withhold the issuance of a summons, while the Motion to Withhold Issuance of Summons (Form PT-605A) is used by the plaintiff to ask the court to withhold the issuance of a summons. Both documents must be filed with the court, and both require the parties to sign an agreement to resolve the dispute. If the court approves the request or motion, it will not issue a summons until the parties have had an opportunity to negotiate and resolve their dispute.
