How it works

Built for the hearing date.

A court that grants a TRO or preliminary injunction sets the security at the same time and gives you days to post it. Here is the whole process:

A surety specialist underwrites it

A specialist reviews the order, your financials, and any collateral, then returns a quote. The amount is set 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 Vermont 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 the restraint was wrongful. The court sets the amount for that risk.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large bond can require collateral and financials. The amount is in the court’s discretion under Rule 65(c) — we flag what your order requires before you apply.

Vermont RuleVermont Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c) provides that no restraining order or preliminary 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. The amount of the security is committed to the court’s discretion. (No such security is required of the State of Vermont or of an officer or agency thereof.)

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Vermont injunction or TRO bond? +
It is the security a court requires before it will grant an injunction. Under V.R.C.P. 65(c), no restraining order or preliminary injunction issues except on the giving of security to pay the enjoined party’s costs and damages, in an amount the court deems proper, if it is found the party was wrongfully enjoined or restrained.
How much does it cost? +
It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court sets the penal sum — the amount 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. V.R.C.P. 65(c) leaves the amount to the court’s discretion, 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? +
V.R.C.P. 65(c) makes security a condition of a TRO or preliminary injunction, in an amount the court deems proper — and a court can set a nominal amount in an appropriate case. No security is required of the State of Vermont or its officers or agencies. We flag what your order requires 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.
