Utah injunction & TRO bonds.
The security Rule 65A requires.
When you ask a Utah court to restrain or enjoin the other side, the court will usually require security first. An injunction bond protects the enjoined party if it turns out they were wrongfully restrained. The court sets the amount under Rule 65A to cover their costs and damages. We underwrite it and a specialist returns a quote, usually within one business day.

How much does a Utah injunction & TRO bond cost?
It is underwritten. The carrier’s base rate is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your premium from the amount, your credit and any collateral.
Built for the hearing date.
A judge who is inclined to grant your TRO will still condition it on security. Having the bond ready keeps the order from stalling — here is the whole process:
Tell us the basics
The court order, the case, the penal sum the court set (or the size of the estate or property), and who the fiduciary is. The application captures it once — no broker phone tag.
A specialist underwrites it
A surety specialist reviews the bond and the principal, then returns a quote — usually within one business day. Larger penal sums may call for financials or collateral; we tell you up front, not at the closing table.
E-sign & file with the court
Approve the quote, sign, and receive the executed bond on the court’s required form with power of attorney attached. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the clerk insists.
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.
Why the court wants security first
A temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction freezes the other side’s conduct before the case is decided on the merits. That is a powerful remedy, granted on limited information.
So Utah courts require the moving party to post security under Rule 65A. If the injunction is later found to have been wrongful, the bond pays the enjoined party’s costs and the damages they suffered while restrained.
The court sets the amount based on the potential harm to the enjoined party — not on a fixed schedule. The surety underwrites the applicant and the exposure; larger amounts may call for collateral or financials. This is quote-on-review, not an instant flat-rate bond.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote; a court bond usually runs until the case or appeal it secures is resolved.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the court. Approve the quote, sign, and receive the executed bond on the court’s required form with power of attorney attached. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the clerk insists.
What sets the price
Court bonds are underwritten. The carrier's base rate for this bond is 2% of the bond amount; the underwriter sets your final premium from the amount the court sets, your credit and any collateral.
