Civil Action Coversheet {SCCA-234}

SCCA-234 - CIVIL ACTION COVERSHEET. This form is used in South Carolina Courts. It is required for docketing civil cases that are not filed electronically (E-Filing) and must be submitted to the Clerk of Court. The form provides basic case information, including the parties involved, case number, and the nature of the action (e.g., contract dispute, torts, real property issues). It also indicates whether a jury trial is requested, if the case is subject to arbitration or mediation, or if an exemption applies. The form contains a section for the submitting party's contact information and requires the signature of the submitting party or their attorney. It is important to note that a copy of the coversheet must be served on the defendant along with the summons and complaint. For cases filed electronically, this form is not required. The coversheet helps ensure compliance with South Carolina’s rules for alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes, including mediation and arbitration, and contains additional information on required actions in such cases. www.FormsWorkflow.com
