How much does a Connecticut injunction & TRO bond cost?

It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.

How it works

Built for the hearing date.

In Connecticut a temporary injunction generally cannot issue until the bond is in place, so the bond can sit on the critical path to your order. Here is the whole process:

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the matter, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger bonds are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.

ON APPROVAL

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 so the temporary injunction can issue.

In plain English

How an injunction bond works, and what to have ready.

  1. Why the court asks for it

    You are asking the court to order someone to stop, or start, doing something before the case is decided. The court requires a bond before that order takes effect.

  2. Who it protects

    The party the order restrains. If the court later finds the order should not have been granted, they can recover the costs and damages it caused them, up to the bond amount.

  3. If there is a claim

    The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.

Have these ready

  • The court's order granting the injunction or restraining order, with the bond amount it sets
  • The court, case number and the parties' names
  • The complaint or motion that asked for the order
  • Financial statements for the person or business posting the bond
  • Your attorney's name and contact details
About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court makes you post a bond

A temporary injunction freezes the status quo before the merits are decided. If it turns out the injunction should never have issued, the restrained party may have been harmed — so Connecticut makes the applicant post security up front.

The injunction bond answers the damages the opposing party suffers if you fail to prosecute the action to effect. That is why the court sets the amount to the potential harm rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.

Because the surety stands behind those damages, 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.

Connecticut StatuteC.G.S. §52-472 provides that no temporary injunction may be granted, except in favor of the state or a public officer in respect to a matter of a public nature, until the party applying gives bond, with surety satisfactory to the court or judge granting the injunction, to the opposite party, to answer all damages in case the plaintiff fails to prosecute the action to effect. A bond need not be required when, for good cause shown, the court is of the opinion that a temporary injunction ought to issue without bond.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.

The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.

Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.

How to file it

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 so the temporary injunction can issue.

What sets the price

Court bonds are underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount the court sets, your credit and any collateral.

The application takes about ten minutes.

These are the actual underwriting fields — the matter, the bond amount, your business, and your financials. Submit once and a surety specialist reviews everything together and returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a Connecticut injunction or TRO bond?It is the security C.G.S. §52-472 requires before a temporary injunction issues. The bond answers all damages the opposing party suffers if you fail to prosecute the action to effect. The court sets the amount, and a surety underwrites and issues the bond so the injunction can take effect.

Who sets the bond amount?The court does. Under §52-472 the bond must be with surety satisfactory to the court or judge granting the injunction, sized to answer all damages if the action is not prosecuted to effect. We size the penal sum to what the court sets and underwrite from there.
Will I need to post collateral?Often, for a large bond. Because the surety stands behind the damages the bond secures, it is frequently collateralized with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets, and supported by financials. We tell you what your specific file requires before you commit.
