Federal Defendant's Prejudgment Remedy Bond
Overview
Facing a federal prejudgment remedy action means a creditor or plaintiff is attempting to freeze or attach your assets before a final judgment is entered against you. This bond is your mechanism to stop that. By posting a Federal Defendant's Prejudgment Remedy Bond, you provide the court with a financial guarantee that allows you to retain control of your property while the underlying federal case is resolved. It substitutes the security the opposing party sought through the attachment or lien.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a defendant in a federal civil case and a plaintiff has moved for — or obtained — a prejudgment remedy such as an attachment, garnishment, or replevin against your assets, you need this bond. It is specifically for individuals or businesses who want to dissolve, discharge, or vacate that prejudgment remedy by substituting a surety bond as alternate security. Your attorney has likely already told you this bond is the path forward to keeping your property accessible while you contest the underlying claim.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the plaintiff — the party who obtained the prejudgment remedy — against loss if the court ultimately rules in their favor. By posting the bond, you are assuring the federal court that the plaintiff's potential recovery is secured even though the asset attachment or lien is being released. It does not concede liability; it simply replaces the frozen or attached property with a surety's financial backing as the security instrument of record.
When is it Required?
This bond is required at the point in your federal case when you move to dissolve or discharge an existing prejudgment remedy order. There is no standard renewal cycle — the bond remains in force until the underlying federal litigation concludes and the court releases the obligation. If the case is appealed or extended, the bond obligation follows the case. The court or your opposing counsel will specify the required bond amount based on the value of the assets or the claim at issue.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a federal bond, meaning it is filed in a United States District Court — whichever district is handling the underlying civil action. It is not tied to any single state's court system. The bond applies wherever that federal case is venued, and the obligee is the plaintiff or the federal court holding the matter.
