How it works

Built for the post-judgment clock.

Execution can begin soon after a money judgment is entered, so the supersedeas undertaking has to come together quickly. Here is the whole process:

TODAY · 10 MINUTES

Send us the file

Apply online and attach the limited or general judgment and notice of appeal. We need the judgment amount, the parties, and the court so we can size the penal sum the undertaking has to cover.

WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the judgment, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. Larger penal sums are typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.

ON APPROVAL

Execute & file

Once you bind, we issue the executed supersedeas undertaking for filing with the trial court administrator, ready to stay execution of the judgment while the appeal is pending.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What a supersedeas undertaking actually does

An appeal does not, by itself, stop the winning party from collecting. A supersedeas undertaking (the Oregon term for an appeal or stay bond) is the security that buys you a stay — execution is held while the appellate court decides.

For a money judgment, the undertaking guarantees that if your appeal fails, you will pay the judgment to the extent it is affirmed. That is why the penal sum tracks the judgment, interest, and costs rather than a flat figure, and why the surety underwrites you before issuing it.

Because the surety is on the hook for the full judgment, a large penal sum is usually collateralized — with cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets — and supported by financials. By stipulation of the parties, or for good cause including indigence, the trial court may waive, reduce, or limit the undertaking under ORS 19.310. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.

Oregon StatuteORS 19.335 governs stays by supersedeas undertaking. When the judgment is for the payment of money, the supersedeas undertaking stays the money award if it provides that the appellant will pay the judgment to the extent the judgment is affirmed on appeal. Undertakings on appeal are filed with the trial court administrator under ORS 19.300, and under ORS 19.310 the parties may stipulate to waive, reduce, or limit the undertaking, or the trial court may do so for good cause, including indigence.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is an Oregon appeal or supersedeas bond? +
It is the security that stays execution of a judgment while you appeal. Under ORS 19.335, a supersedeas undertaking stays a money judgment when it provides that the appellant will pay the judgment to the extent it is affirmed on appeal. The undertaking is filed with the trial court administrator and guarantees the judgment, interest, and costs are paid if the appeal fails.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The judgment sets the penal sum — the undertaking has to cover the judgment, interest, and costs that may be affirmed. A surety specialist reviews the file and any collateral and returns a premium quote, usually within one business day.
Will I need to post collateral? +
Often, yes, especially for a large penal sum. Because the surety guarantees the full judgment, the undertaking 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.
Can the undertaking be waived or reduced? +
Sometimes. Under ORS 19.310, the parties may stipulate to waive, reduce, or limit an undertaking on appeal, and the trial court may waive, reduce, or limit it for good cause, including indigence, on terms that are just and equitable. Where it is not waived, the supersedeas undertaking has to be filed to obtain the stay.
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 supersedeas undertaking is ready to file with the trial court administrator so you can stay execution.
