How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court conditions the injunction on security, and the order usually can’t take effect until the bond is posted. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online with the motion or order setting the security, the parties, and the amount the court fixed. The court’s number drives the penal sum.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the order, your credit and finances, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is fixed by the court — underwriting decides approval and collateral.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed bond on the court’s required form with the power of attorney attached, ready to file so the injunction can take effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What an injunction bond secures

When you ask a court to enjoin someone — to stop them from acting while your case proceeds — the court makes you post security first. That security is the injunction bond (or TRO bond).

The bond protects the party you’re restraining: if it later turns out the injunction was wrongly granted, they can recover their costs and damages against the bond, up to the penal sum the court set. The surety then looks to you to repay it.

Because the surety stands behind those potential damages, the bond is underwritten on your credit and finances, and a large penal sum can require collateral. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.

Minnesota RuleMinn. R. Civ. P. 65.03 provides that no temporary restraining order or temporary injunction shall be granted except upon the giving of security by the applicant, in such sum as the court deems proper, for the payment of the costs and damages that may be incurred or suffered by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained. Under Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 135, the minimum security is generally $2,000 unless the court orders otherwise.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Minnesota injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court requires before granting a temporary restraining order or temporary injunction. Under Minn. R. Civ. P. 65.03, the order issues only if the applicant gives security, in the sum the court deems proper, to cover the costs and damages of a party who turns out to have been wrongfully enjoined. The bond stands behind that obligation.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum — the amount it deems proper to protect the enjoined party (at least $2,000 under Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 135). A surety specialist then reviews your file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who decides the bond amount? +
The court does. Under Rule 65.03 the judge fixes the security in the sum it deems proper to cover the potential costs and damages to the enjoined party. We size the bond to the court’s order, underwrite it, and quote the premium — we don’t set the penal sum.
Will I need to post collateral? +
Sometimes, depending on the size of the penal sum and the underwriting. Because the surety guarantees the enjoined party’s damages, a large bond can require collateral such as cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets. We tell you what your file requires before you commit.
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 is ready to file so the injunction can take effect.
