Appeal Bonds

What Is an Appeal Bond?

An appeal surety bond is a form of judicial bond that guarantees compliance if the court’s decision is in favor of the other party.

Also referred to as supersedeas bonds, both defendant and plaintiff appeal bonds apply when appealing to a higher court and assure that the monetary judgment will be paid if the appeal fails.

Types of Appeal Bonds:

• When an appellant wants to delay payment of a judgment until the appeal process is over, they secure a supersedeas bond or a defendant’s appeal bond.
• When an appellant wants to appeal their case to a higher court, they secure an appeal surety bond to cover the opposing party’s court costs if the appeal is unsuccessful.

How Do I Get an Appeal or Supersedeas Bond

A surety agent like Brunswick Companies can help you secure an appeal or supersedeas bond. To get your bond, you will need to provide:

• An application and executed indemnity agreement supplied by the surety broker/agent
• A copy of the court paperwork for the initial complaint and judgement in the court case only
• Collateral funds to pay the bond premium

Depending on the amount of the bond, the surety underwriter will require financial statements from your business, personal accounts, or both and a suitable credit score that will support the request. The surety company will approve the bond and it can be issued to you once the collateral requirements are in place, and you can then present it to the court and continue with proceedings.
