When, during the pendency of an action, it appears by affidavit that a party to the action threatens, or is about to remove or dispose of his property, with intent to defraud his creditors, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction may be granted to restrain such removal or disposition.

Terms Used In South Dakota Codified Laws 21-8-6

  • 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.
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Property: includes property, real and personal. See South Dakota Codified Laws 2-14-2
  • 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.
