A Tennessee Appeal Bond is a surety bond that is typically required by the court when a party appeals a decision. It serves to protect the rights of the opposing party in the event the appealing party does not fulfill their obligation to cover the cost of the appeal. Tennessee Appeal Bonds may be required at different stages of the appeal process, including when the appeal is filed, during the appeal process, and after the appeal is finalized. Types of Tennessee Appeal Bonds include Civil Appeal Bond, Criminal Appeal Bond, and Bankruptcy Appeal Bond.
