Financial Protection for Legal Proceedings
Court bonds are a specific type of surety bond required by courts to protect parties involved in legal proceedings. These bonds provide financial assurance that court-ordered obligations will be met, allowing cases to move forward while safeguarding the interests of all parties.
When a court requires a bond, it’s ensuring that:
Court bonds are essential tools that balance access to legal remedies with protection against abuse of the legal system.
Court bonds are required in various legal situations across civil and appellate proceedings. Common scenarios include:
If you’re appealing a court judgment, you’ll typically need an appeal bond to guarantee payment if the appeal is unsuccessful.
When requesting a court order to stop someone’s actions, you’ll need an injunction bond to protect the other party from wrongful restrictions.
If you’re asking the court to seize or secure a defendant’s property before trial, an attachment bond protects against wrongful attachment.

No, the premium is the cost of the bond and is non-refundable. However, if your bond is successfully discharged (the obligation is fulfilled), you have no further liability. The premium is essentially an insurance cost to guarantee the obligation.
If a valid claim is made against your court bond, the surety company pays the claim amount to the obligee (the party protected by the bond). However, as the principal, you are ultimately responsible for reimbursing the surety. This is why underwriting and financial review are important parts of the bonding process.
It depends on the bond type and amount. Smaller court bonds may be available with less-than-perfect credit, though rates may be higher.
