Illinois injunction & TRO bonds.
Court-set security, underwritten fast.
When you ask a court to enjoin or restrain someone, the court may require security first.
Under 735 ILCS 5/11-103, that bond protects a party who is later found to have been wrongfully enjoined.
The court fixes the amount; the bond is underwritten, not flat-rated.

What it is and who needs it.
Why the court wants security
A preliminary injunction or TRO stops the other side from doing something before the case is decided. If it later turns out the injunction was wrongful, the enjoined party may have suffered real costs and damages in the meantime.
So Illinois lets the court require the applicant to post a bond first. If a party is found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained, that party can recover its costs and damages against the bond — up to the penal sum the court set.
Because the exposure is whatever the court fixes, these bonds are underwritten rather than flat-rated, and larger amounts may be collateralized. We size and quote the bond once we see the order.
