How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court that grants a restraining order or temporary injunction usually sets the security at the same time and gives you days to post it. Here is the whole process:

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and any collateral, not the penal sum.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court demands security

A temporary injunction or restraining order freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that order later proves wrongful, the restrained party has been harmed — so Kentucky requires the moving party to put up security first.

The injunction bond guarantees the restrained party’s costs and damages get paid if the order is dissolved or shown to have been wrongfully entered. The court sets the amount it considers proper for that risk, in its discretion, and the adverse party can move for more.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large penal sum can require collateral and financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you apply, and flag any case where the court sets a nominal or zero bond.

Kentucky RuleCR 65.05 of the Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure provides that no restraining order or temporary injunction shall be granted until the party seeking it executes a bond, with surety to be approved by the clerk, for the payment of all costs and damages that may be incurred or suffered by any person who is found to have been wrongfully restrained or enjoined. The court fixes the amount, and the party against whom the order is directed may move for additional security if the bond is insufficient.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What is a Kentucky injunction or restraining order bond? +
It is the security a court requires before it will enter a restraining order or temporary injunction. Under CR 65.05, no such order is granted until the moving party executes a bond, with surety approved by the clerk, to pay all costs and damages incurred by any person found to have been wrongfully restrained or enjoined.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum — the amount it considers proper to protect the restrained party. A surety specialist then reviews your file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who sets the bond amount? +
The court does. CR 65.05 leaves the amount to the court’s discretion, sized to the costs and damages the restrained party could suffer if the order is later dissolved. The adverse party may move for additional security. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.
Can the adverse party challenge the bond? +
Yes. Under CR 65.05, the party against whom the restraining order or injunction is directed may move for additional security if the bond is insufficient. If the court raises the amount, we re-size and re-quote the bond accordingly.
How fast can the bond be issued? +
A specialist typically returns a quote within one business day of a complete application. Once you bind and any collateral is in place, the executed bond issues on the court’s form, ready to file so the order can take effect.
