When a court ordered judgment is filed in the office of the Clerk of Court the judgment’s history will always remain on the record unless expunged by judicial order. The prevailing party in a civil lawsuit may execute against property on any judgment pursuant to the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. An execution on the judgment may be filed with the Clerk of Court’s Office after the judgment has been on file for 10 days.

Judgments from the Magistrate Court may also be filed with the Clerk of Court for a fee of thirty-five dollars ($35.00). When filing a Magistrate Judgment with the Clerk of Court you must file the original Magistrate’s order.
