Generally, where the court's judgment requires payment of money, the most common remedy in magistrate's court is execution. The process to enforce a judgment for the payment of money shall be by writ of execution and shall be conducted as provided by law. Rule 17(c), SCRMC.

Execution is defined as the remedy afforded by law for the enforcement and accomplishment of the terms of a judgment. Executions may be had against the property of the judgment debtor, against his person, and for the delivery of the possession of real or personal property, or such delivery with damages for withholding the property. (§ 15-39-10). Magistrate's judgments are enforced through the issuance of a writ of execution by a magistrate, or through circuit court. (See Procedure After Verdict).

2. Issuance of Execution

In the case of judgments docketed only with the magistrate who rendered the judgment, the prevailing party must apply to that magistrate for leave to issue a writ or order of execution (sometimes called a writ or order of enforcement) within three years of the rendition of the judgment.
