Built for the post-judgment clock.
In Connecticut the automatic appellate stay runs only until the appeal period expires, and a stay of a money judgment can be conditioned on a bond. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online and attach the judgment and the appeal papers. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the court, so we can size the bond the trial court requires for the stay.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger bonds are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
Execute & file
Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file with the clerk and hold execution while the appeal is heard.
What it is and who needs it.
What a supersedeas bond actually does
In Connecticut, the automatic appellate stay holds enforcement only until the time to appeal runs out. To keep a money judgment from being executed while the appeal is decided, the trial court can require a supersedeas bond (also called an appeal bond) as the condition of continuing the stay.
The bond guarantees that if your appeal fails, the judgment, interest, and costs get paid. That is why the penal sum tracks the judgment the court orders bonded rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.
Because the surety is on the hook for the judgment, a large bond is usually collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.
