How an injunction bond works, and what to have ready.
Why the court asks for it
You are asking the court to order someone to stop, or start, doing something before the case is decided. The court requires a bond before that order takes effect.
Who it protects
The party the order restrains. If the court later finds the order should not have been granted, they can recover the costs and damages it caused them, up to the bond amount.
If there is a claim
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.
Have these ready
- The court's order granting the injunction or restraining order, with the bond amount it sets
- The court, case number and the parties' names
- The complaint or motion that asked for the order
- Financial statements for the person or business posting the bond
- Your attorney's name and contact details
What it is and who needs it.
What the injunction bond actually covers
When you ask a Tennessee court to restrain or enjoin someone, the court can't be sure yet that you're right. Rule 65.05 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure protects the other side: no restraining order or temporary injunction issues except on a bond for the costs and damages suffered by anyone later found to have been wrongfully restrained or enjoined.
The court sets the amount — the rule says 'in such sum as the court deems proper.' You read that figure off your order and we issue the bond for it. The surety's address appears on the bond, and by signing the surety submits to the court's jurisdiction, so the bond's liability can be enforced on motion.
If your restraint is later found wrongful and the other party is damaged, they can recover against the bond up to its amount — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is the price of getting urgent relief before the merits are decided. The only common exception is an action brought on a pauper's oath.
You need this bond if you are
Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the court. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with the clerk so the court can enter your order. Wet-ink originals expedited when the clerk requires them.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
