Terms Used In South Carolina Code 27-32-370
- Assessment lien: means :
(a) a lien for delinquent assessments as to timeshare estates; or
(b) a lien for unpaid taxes and special assessments. See South Carolina Code 27-32-310 - Claim of lien: means a claim of a recorded assessment lien. See South Carolina Code 27-32-310
- Deed: The legal instrument used to transfer title in real property from one person to another.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
