A South Carolina Complaint is a legal document used to initiate a civil action in the state of South Carolina. It outlines the nature of the case, the parties involved, and the relief sought. There are two types of South Carolina Complaints: Complaints in Equity and Complaints at Law. A Complaint in Equity is used when a plaintiff is asking the court to order a defendant to do something, such as return a piece of property. A Complaint at Law, on the other hand, is used when a plaintiff is seeking monetary damages from a defendant. Both Complaints in Equity and Complaints at Law must contain the following information: the court in which the case is being filed, the names of the parties involved, the allegations of the plaintiff, and the relief requested.
