How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court that grants a temporary injunction fixes 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 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 bond 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 South Carolina requires the applicant to put up security first.

The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s costs and damages get paid if it is found they were wrongfully enjoined or restrained. The court fixes the amount it deems proper for that risk.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large bond can require collateral and financials. In divorce, custody, and non-support actions the security is discretionary rather than mandatory, and none is required of the State — we flag which applies before you apply.

South Carolina RuleSCRCP Rule 65(c) provides that, except in divorce, child custody, and non-support actions where the giving of security is discretionary, no restraining order or temporary injunction shall issue except upon the giving of security by the applicant, in such sum 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. No such security is required of the State or of an officer or agency thereof, and a surety on the bond submits to the jurisdiction of the court.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a South Carolina injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court requires before it will grant an injunction. Under SCRCP Rule 65(c), no restraining order or temporary injunction issues except on the giving of security, in such sum as the court deems proper, to pay the costs and damages of any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court fixes the penal sum — the sum 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. SCRCP Rule 65(c) leaves the amount to the court — "such sum as the court deems proper" — sized to the costs and damages 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 security always required? +
Almost always. SCRCP Rule 65(c) makes security mandatory for a restraining order or temporary injunction, except in divorce, child custody, and non-support actions where it is discretionary, and no security is required of the State. 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 bond issues on the court’s form, ready to file before the injunction takes effect.
