Operative words

In recognition of the difficulties the COVID-19 pandemic may have on institutions, individuals, and court personnel... [statewide evictions and foreclosures suspended]; as SC-049 recites: 'a statewide moratorium on evictions and foreclosures proceedings was ordered.'

Enforcement

Administrative order binding every trial court; superseded the Mar. 17, 2020 evictions order (2020-03-17-02)

Notes

The South Carolina eviction and foreclosure moratorium ran Mar. 17/18 - May 15, 2020; thereafter the CARES Act § 4024 certification (SC-049) applied.
