If a complaint or other pleading is served, it may, if sufficient, be used as part of or in lieu of the affidavit for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, so far as applicable, but this shall not restrict such showing by affidavit as the applicant elects to make. A copy of the complaint or other pleading, if intended as part of the showing, and a copy of any affidavit, so intended, must be served with the restraining order or injunction.

Terms Used In South Dakota Codified Laws 21-8-9

  • Affidavit: A written statement of facts confirmed by the oath of the party making it, before a notary or officer having authority to administer oaths.
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
