A Vermont court won’t grant your preliminary injunction or TRO until you post security.
The bond protects the party you’re enjoining if the injunction turns out wrongful.
The court sets the amount — and we underwrite it.
A surety specialist reviews your file and returns a quote, usually within one business day.
















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:
Apply online with the order setting the security, the parties, and the amount the court set. If the order isn’t entered yet, send the motion and the amount you expect.
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.
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.
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.
These are the actual underwriting fields — the order setting the security, the parties, your business, and your financials. Submit once and a surety specialist returns a quote, typically within one business day. Free until your bond is issued.
