The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H8ClNO3S, contains two independent molecules in which the C-S-N-C torsion angles are -71.7 (3) and 61.2 (3)°. The benzene rings and the SO2-NH-CO-C segments form dihedral angles of 80.2 (1) and 88.1 (2)° in the two independent molecules. In the crystal, intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains in the b-axis direction.
