FORM 4C INSTRUCTIONS—JUDGMENT IN A CIVIL CASE
(Instructions for Information Only-Not to be filed with Form 4C)

1. Form 4C-Judgment in a Civil Case has been modified to add order information and
enrollment instructions for the clerk of court. The purpose of Form 4 has not changed
with the exception that judgment information is provided when applicable.

2. Please note that the Form 4C must be attached to all orders that include information to
enroll in the judgment index. The clerk will not be responsible for reading the order to
determine enrollment information.

The attorney or prevailing party will prepare and attach the Form 4C when submitting the
proposed order that includes judgment enrollment information for the judgment index.
The judge will review and sign Form 4C when he or she signs an order that includes
judgment enrollment information for the judgment index.

3. Form 4C is not required to be submitted to the Court with orders that do not include
information to enroll in the judgment index. If the clerk receives such an order without
Form 4C attached, the clerk should enter and process the order pursuant to Rule 58 and
Rule 77(d), SC Rules of Civil Procedure (i.e., the clerk should serve notice of entry of the
judgment by mail or provide the attorneys with copies of the signed order by other
means).

4. The “Information for the Judgment Index” section should be completed when the
judgment affects title to real or personal property or if any amount should be enrolled. In
the “Judgment in Favor of” column, enter the name of the party to whom the judgment is
awarded. In the “Judgment Against” column, enter the name of the person to whom the
judgment is against. The judgment amount to be enrolled should be noted in the
“Judgment Amount” column. As necessary, describe any property referenced in the
order if it is to be enrolled in the judgment index. If there is no judgment information to
enroll, indicate “N/A” in one of the boxes in this section of the form.

5. To enter information to accommodate multiple parties, additional Form 4Cs may be used
as necessary. Additional space may be inserted on the form as necessary.

6. The section “For the Clerk of Court Office Use Only” should be completed by the clerk
as it has been with the previous version of Form 4.

7. If the matter is on appeal to the Circuit Court, then the parties on the form should be
changed from Plaintiff and Defendant to Appellant and Respondent.

SCRCP Form 4C (02/2017) Page 4 of 4

 8. If an arbitrator prepares an order after arbitration, the arbitrator should strike through
“Circuit Court Judge” and indicate “Arbitrator” in the signature block.

9. If a Special Circuit Court Judge, Master in Equity, or Special Referee prepares an order
after hearing a Circuit Court matter, then he or she should strike through the title “Circuit
Court Judge” below the signature line and indicate the appropriate title.

10. When an Order of Foreclosure is filed, neither the parties or debt owed should be listed in
the Information for the Judgment Index Section, unless the foreclosure order specifically
requires entry of the full judgment amount before the foreclosure sale, pursuant to
Section 29-3-650 of the SC Code.

11. If the deficiency judgment is waived in a Foreclosure action, indicate N/A in the
“Judgment Amount To Be Enrolled” box.

12. Foreclosure actions should be ended by the Clerk of Court upon receipt of the Order of
Foreclosure. Subsequent information, including deficiency judgments, can be added to
the action after the case is ended. The Master in Equity should end the action in the MIE
system upon the receipt of the Order of Foreclosure.

13. When judgment enrollment information is included in the Information for the Judgment
Index Section (for example, when there is a deficiency judgment), only the parties who
the judgment is for and against should be included in the Section. Subordinate parties
and lienholders should not be included in the box if there is not a judgment amount
specifically for or against them.

14. Form 4C is not required to be attached to Transcripts of Judgment and Confession of

Judgment.
