South Carolina Summons is a legal document issued by a court of law in South Carolina to notify a defendant that they are being sued. The Summons is typically served by a law enforcement officer or other authorized individual, and it informs the defendant of the pending lawsuit and their obligation to respond to the complaint. There are two types of South Carolina Summons: Regular Summons and Notice to Defendant Summons. A Regular Summons is the most commonly used type of Summons in South Carolina. It informs the defendant of the lawsuit and requires their response to the complaint within 30 days. A Notice to Defendant Summons is sent to the defendant when the plaintiff has obtained a judgment against them and is seeking to have it enforced. It requires the defendant to appear in court and answer the complaint within a certain time frame. Both types of South Carolina Summons provide important legal information and must be taken seriously.
