Judicial or Civil Court Bonds

The first major sub-category for court surety bonds is Judicial or Civil Court Bonds. These are used to provide protections and assurances during court cases.

The two additional sub-categories for Judicial or Civil Court Bonds are:

Plaintiff, Plaintiff’s Attachment, or Attachment Bonds

They guarantee that plaintiffs in court cases will pay damages to defendants if the court rules in the defendants’ favor. These bonds are used for disputes between creditors and debtors. The creditor (plaintiff) may try reclaiming the defendant’s property to ensure that the defendant will pay their debt, or the creditor may seize property to satisfy the debt. If the court rules in the defendant’s favor, the creditor must pay the damages resulting from litigation. If the creditor refuses to pay, then the surety is required to pay the defendant on the creditor’s behalf. Before the trial begins, creditors are required to purchase these bonds in an amount decided by the court or state.

Defendant Bonds

These bonds are used in criminal cases. They are designed to make sure that defendants keep their court appointments, offer various protections, and create various stipulations.

For Plaintiff, Plaintiff’s Attachment, or Attachment Bonds, they are:

Injunction/TRO Bonds. They protect defendants against damages caused by unnecessary or illegal temporary restraining orders (TROs).
Counter Replevin Bonds. They are used as counterclaims to replevin bonds to stop repossession of property.
Indemnity to Sheriff Bonds. They protect law enforcement officers from losses when a court orders them to confiscate property.
Garnishment Bonds. They are used by the plaintiff when garnishing the defendant’s wages or financial property.
Lis Pendens Bonds. They are used when the plaintiff wants to stop the defendant from selling or loaning property.
Cost Bonds. They guarantee that court expenses are paid by the principal, i.e., whoever needs the bond.
Release of Lis Pendens Bond. They offer recourse to defendants trying to sell property and provide protection from litigation costs.
Distraint Bonds or Distress Bonds. They are used when a tenant (defendant) is removed from a commercial property for not paying rent.
Replevin Bonds or Claim and Deliver Bonds. They are used when the plaintiff reclaims personal property from the defendant.
Sequestration Bonds. They are used when the plaintiff seizes the defendant’s property to satisfy the defendant’s debt.

For Defendant Bonds, the specific bond types that divide this category further are:

Bail Bonds. They provide assurance to the court that the defendant will keep their court dates and abide by other requirements.
Appeal or Supersedeas Bonds. They make sure that the defendant pays the original judgment in case of a failed court appeal.
Immigration Bonds. They are used when the Department of Homeland Security arrests people who are not U.S. citizens.
Dissolve Injunction Bonds. They are filed by the defendant to cancel injunctions. These bonds protect the plaintiff if the court rules in the plaintiff’s favor.
