How can I find out if my small claims court case has been decided?

In South Carolina, you can find out if your small claims court case has been decided by calling or visiting the county clerk’s office for the court where the case was heard. You can also view the court’s online docket book and search for your case by the defendant’s name or the case number. If you are not able to locate your case, the clerk’s office can look for it for you. The clerk will need the defendant’s name, the court’s case number, and the approximate date of the hearing when searching for the case. If the case has been decided, the clerk’s office can provide the verdict to you. You may also visit the court’s website and click on ‘Case Search’ to view the decision. It is important to remember that small claims court cases are only decided when both parties appear in court and the judge issues a verdict. If only one of the parties appears, the case will be dismissed or a default judgment will be rendered in favor of the party that did show up. To stay informed about the outcome of your small claims case, you can subscribe to the court’s docket. This will give you e-mail notifications when a decision is issued. You can contact the clerk’s office directly for more information about subscribing.
