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 Wisconsin requires the party seeking it to put up security first.

The injunction bond guarantees the enjoined party’s damages get paid if it turns out the injunction was wrongfully obtained. The court fixes the amount for that risk.

Because the surety stands behind that amount, a large injunction bond can require collateral and financials. The bond requirement is broad but not universal — some restraining orders are excepted — so we flag which applies before you apply.

Wisconsin StatuteWis. Stat. § 813.06 provides that, except in the proceedings it specifically excepts (such as certain domestic abuse, harassment, and individual-at-risk restraining orders), the court or judge shall require a bond of the party seeking an injunction, with sureties, before an injunction or temporary restraining order issues. The bond is conditioned for the payment of all damages and costs that may be sustained by reason of the injunction if the court finally decides the party was not entitled to it, in an amount the court fixes.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

What is a Wisconsin injunction or TRO bond? +

It is the security a court requires before it will grant an injunction. Under Wis. Stat. § 813.06, in most proceedings the court shall require a bond of the party seeking the injunction, with sureties, conditioned to pay the enjoined party’s damages and costs if the court finally decides the party was not entitled to the injunction, in an amount the court fixes.

How much does it cost? +

It is underwritten, not flat-rated. The court fixes the penal sum — the amount it sets 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. Wis. Stat. § 813.06 leaves the amount to the court, sized to the damages and costs the enjoined party could suffer if the injunction is later shown to have been wrongfully obtained. We size and underwrite the bond to whatever the court orders.

Is a bond always required? +

Almost always, but not in every case. Wis. Stat. § 813.06 makes the bond mandatory in most proceedings, while excepting certain restraining orders such as domestic abuse, harassment, and individual-at-risk injunctions. We flag which applies to your order 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.
