How it works

Built for the hearing date.

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

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online with the order setting the security, the parties, and the amount the court deemed proper. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the motion and the amount you expect.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

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.

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 post so the injunction can take effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court demands security

A preliminary injunction or TRO freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that injunction later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so New Hampshire requires the moving party to put up security first.

The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s costs and damages get paid if the injunction is dissolved or shown to have been wrongfully entered. The court sets the amount it considers proper for that risk.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large penal sum can require collateral and financials. Courts have wide discretion in setting the sum — and can waive it for good cause — and we’ll size and underwrite to whatever the order specifies.

New Hampshire RuleNew Hampshire Superior Court Rule 48 provides that, unless the court orders otherwise for good cause, no restraining order or preliminary injunction shall issue except upon the giving of an injunction bond by the applicant, in such sums as the court deems proper, for the payment of such costs and damages as may be incurred or suffered by any party who is found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained. The rule also caps a TRO granted without notice at 10 days.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a New Hampshire injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court requires before it will enter a TRO or preliminary injunction. Under N.H. Superior Court Rule 48, unless the court orders otherwise for good cause, no such order issues except on an injunction bond given in the sum the court deems proper, conditioned to pay the costs and damages of a party wrongfully enjoined.
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. 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. Rule 48 leaves the amount to the court’s discretion, sized to the costs and damages the enjoined party could suffer if the injunction is later dissolved. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.
Can the court waive the injunction bond? +
Yes. Rule 48 lets the court order otherwise for good cause, so the security can be reduced or dispensed with in a given case. Where a bond is required, we size and underwrite it to the court’s order.
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 injunction can take effect.
