A South Carolina Motion and Affidavit for Preliminary Injunction is a legal document used to request a court order that prohibits a person or entity from taking a certain action or activity pending the outcome of a lawsuit. It is a temporary restraining order issued by a court to protect the interests of one party pending a full trial. There are two types of South Carolina Motion and Affidavit for Preliminary Injunction: Temporary Restraining Order (TO) and Preliminary Injunction. A TO is a short-term court order that is issued to preserve the status quo while a Preliminary Injunction is a longer-term court order that is issued to protect the interests of one party pending a full trial. Both types of injunctions require the filing of a Motion and Affidavit in the appropriate court. The Motion and Affidavit must include detailed information about the parties involved, the facts of the case, and the requested relief. Once the Motion and Affidavit is filed, the court will decide whether to grant the requested relief.
