About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why replevin needs a double bond

Replevin (Mississippi’s claim-and-delivery action) lets you recover specific personal property — a vehicle, equipment, inventory — that someone is wrongfully holding, before the lawsuit ends.

Because the property changes hands before a judge decides who is right, Mississippi requires the plaintiff who takes the property to post a bond that protects the defendant if the seizure turns out wrong. That is why the penal sum is double the value of the property.

The bond runs in favor of the defendant and is conditioned to prosecute the action, return the property if return is adjudged, and pay any damages from a wrongful suing-out of the writ. Either way the amount tracks the property, so the surety underwrites the file and may require collateral on a large penal sum.

Mississippi StatuteMiss. Code § 11-37-101 governs the replevin bond. A judge may issue an order for a writ of replevin upon the plaintiff posting a good and valid replevin bond in favor of the defendant in double the value of the property as alleged in the complaint, conditioned to pay any damages that may arise from a wrongful seizure of the property by the plaintiff. The form of the plaintiff’s bond is prescribed by Miss. Code § 11-37-105 — the plaintiff and sureties must prosecute the action, return the property if return is adjudged, and pay damages sustained by a wrongful suing-out of the writ.
