83. In a majority of states, the law now caps the amount of supersedeas bond that can be required.
Mon Mar 25, 2024, 08:30 PM

For example, the maximum is $50 million no matter what the size of the judgment. While New York hasn't set a statutory cap, it gives judges discretion to set the required bond at a level than 100 percent of the judgment. I don't have any data, but it wouldn't surprise me if judges in New York frequently set bond levels below the 100 percent level in cases where the amount of the judgment exceeds $100 million.
