What is a supercedeas bond?

Answer 1

Also called supersedeas bond, this is the security required by courts to protect judgment debtors from having their assets executed upon, while they appeal judgments against them.

Answer 2

A supercedeas bond is a type of surety bond that allows a judgment debtor to delay or stay execution of a judgment during an appeal. It guarantees that if the appeal is unsuccessful, the judgment creditor will be paid. This type of bond helps protect the judgment creditor's rights while preserving the judgment debtor's ability to appeal.
