Built for the TRO timeline.
A South Dakota court conditions your preliminary injunction or restraining order on an undertaking that protects the party being enjoined. Here is the whole process:
Send us the file
Apply online and attach the order or proposed order and the amount the court has set or is likely to set. We need the parties, the conduct enjoined, and the undertaking figure to size the bond.
A surety specialist underwrites it
A specialist reviews the matter, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. A larger undertaking is typically collateralized — cash, a letter of credit, or pledged assets.
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 so the injunction can issue.
What it is and who needs it.
What an injunction bond actually does
A preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order can shut down conduct before the merits are ever decided. Because the restrained party may turn out to have been right, South Dakota requires the applicant to post security first.
The injunction bond guarantees that if the court ultimately finds the injunction was wrongful, the enjoined party is paid the costs and damages it suffered, up to the amount the court fixes. That is why the penal sum is set by the court, not by a flat rate.
Because the surety stands behind those damages, a large undertaking is usually collateralized and supported by financials. We tell you what a given file needs before you commit.
