How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court that grants a preliminary injunction fixes the undertaking 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 undertaking, the parties, and the amount the court fixed. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the motion and the amount you expect.

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 undertaking on the form the court requires with the power of attorney attached, ready to file before the injunction takes effect.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court demands security

An injunction freezes the other side before the case is decided. If that injunction later proves wrongful, the enjoined party has been harmed — so New York requires the plaintiff to put up an undertaking first.

The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s damages and costs get paid if it is finally determined the plaintiff was not entitled to the injunction. The court fixes the amount for that risk.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large undertaking can require collateral and financials. On a TRO the undertaking is in the court’s discretion rather than mandatory — we flag which applies before you apply.

New York StatuteCPLR 6312(b) provides that prior to the granting of a preliminary injunction the plaintiff shall give an undertaking in an amount to be fixed by the court, that the plaintiff, if it is finally determined that he or she was not entitled to an injunction, will pay to the defendant all damages and costs which may be sustained by reason of the injunction. CPLR 6313(c) makes the undertaking discretionary on a temporary restraining order, in an amount fixed by the court, with terms similar to those in CPLR 6312(b).

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a New York injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the undertaking a court requires before it will grant an injunction. Under CPLR 6312(b), prior to granting a preliminary injunction the court must require an undertaking to pay the enjoined party’s damages and costs, in an amount the court fixes, if it is finally determined the plaintiff was not entitled to the injunction.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court fixes the penal sum — the amount it sets 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. CPLR 6312(b) leaves the amount to the court’s discretion, sized to the damages and costs the enjoined party could suffer if the injunction is later shown to have been wrongful. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.
Is an undertaking always required? +
On a preliminary injunction, yes — CPLR 6312(b) makes the undertaking mandatory. On a temporary restraining order, CPLR 6313(c) makes it discretionary, so the court may or may not require one. We flag which applies to your order 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 undertaking issues on the court’s form, ready to file before the injunction takes effect.
