How it works

Built for the order to show cause.

A court that enters a temporary restraint or interlocutory injunction often 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.

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 restraint or injunction can take effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court demands security

A preliminary injunction or temporary restraint freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that relief later proves wrongful, the restrained party has been harmed — so a New Jersey court can require the moving party to put up security first.

The injunction bond guarantees the restrained party’s costs and damages get paid if the injunction is dissolved or shown to have been wrongfully entered. Under R. 4:52, the court sets the amount it deems appropriate for that risk, in its discretion.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large penal sum can require collateral and financials. The court has discretion over whether and how much security to require, and we flag what your order calls for before you apply.

New Jersey RuleR. 4:52-1 governs applications for temporary restraints and interlocutory injunctive relief by order to show cause. Under R. 4:52, the court, on granting a temporary restraining order or interlocutory injunction or at any time thereafter, may require security or impose such other equitable terms as it deems appropriate. The amount of any security is committed to the court’s discretion, sized to protect a party found to have been wrongfully restrained or enjoined.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a New Jersey injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court can require before or after it enters a TRO or interlocutory injunction. Under R. 4:52, on granting that relief the court may require security in an amount it deems appropriate to protect the party who is restrained or enjoined, against costs and damages if the relief proves wrongful.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum — the amount it deems appropriate 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. R. 4:52 leaves the amount to the court’s discretion, sized to the costs and damages the restrained party could suffer if the injunction is later dissolved. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.
Is a bond always required? +
No. Under R. 4:52 the court may require security, but it has discretion over whether to require it and how much. Some orders impose no bond, some a nominal one, and some a substantial penal sum. We flag what your order calls for before you apply.
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 restraint or injunction can take effect.
