How it works

Built for the TRO clock.

A restraining order is worthless until the security is posted, and those orders move fast. Here is the whole process:

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

Why the court makes you post security

An injunction stops the other side from doing something before the case is decided. If it later turns out the injunction was wrongful, that party has been harmed — and the injunction bond is how they get made whole.

Under Civ.R. 65(C), no restraining order or preliminary injunction is operative until the movant gives security in an amount the court deems proper. The bond guarantees payment of the enjoined party’s costs and damages if the court later finds the restraint was wrongful.

Because the surety stands behind that figure, a large penal sum is usually collateralized and supported by financials. We tell you what your file needs before you commit, so the security is ready when the court sets the amount.

Ohio RuleOhio Civ.R. 65(C) provides that no temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction is operative until the party obtaining it gives security, in a sum the court deems proper, for the payment of costs and damages that may be incurred or suffered by a party who is found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained. The amount of security is committed to the court’s discretion.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is an Ohio injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court requires before a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction becomes operative. Under Civ.R. 65(C), the movant must give a bond in the amount the court deems proper to cover the costs and damages of a party who turns out to have been wrongfully enjoined.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum under Civ.R. 65(C). A surety specialist reviews that amount, your financials, and any collateral, and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Who decides the bond amount? +
The court does. Civ.R. 65(C) commits the amount of security to the court’s discretion — it can be nominal or, in a high-stakes commercial dispute, well into six or seven figures. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever figure the court sets.
Will I need to post collateral? +
For a large penal sum, often yes. The bond is frequently collateralized with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets, and supported by financials. We tell you what your specific 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 so you can give the security and let the order take effect.
