South Carolina Summons and Notice of Hearing is a legal document issued by a court in the state of South Carolina. It notifies a defendant of a pending court case, as well as the date and time of the hearing. The Summons and Notice of Hearing will also include a short description of the nature of the case and the relief that is being sought by the plaintiff. The Summons and Notice of Hearing is typically issued by the court clerk or a judge, who will then serve the defendant with the documents. There are two main types of South Carolina Summons and Notice of Hearing: Post-Complaint Summons and Notice of Hearing and Pre-computing Summons and Notice of Hearing. The Post-Complaint Summons and Notice of Hearing is served after a complaint has been filed in court by the plaintiff, and will list the date, time, and location of the hearing. The Pre-computing Summons and Notice of Hearing is served prior to the filing of a complaint, and will provide the defendant with the opportunity to answer the complaint before it is filed.
