Hawaii Supersedeas Bond (Appeal Bond ~ Hawaii)

When a party to a civil suit suffers an adverse verdict, he or she generally has a right to appeal the verdict. Appeal does NOT however stay enforcement of the judgment. An Hawaii supersedeas bond is a mechanism contemplated under the Hawaii Code of Appellate Procedure (Rule 8.), which allows collection to be stayed pending the appeal. Subsection (b) addresses the supersedeas bond available to an appellant to accomplish this end. "Relief available in the appellate courts under this rule may be conditioned upon the filing of a bond or other appropriate security in the court or agency appealed from. If security is given in the form of a bond or stipulation or other undertaking with one or more sureties, the bond, stipulation, or undertaking shall comply with applicable statutes, and each surety submits to the jurisdiction of the court or agency appealed from and irrevocably appoints the clerk of the court as the surety's agent upon whom any documents affecting liability on the bond or undertaking may be served.

The Hawaii supersedeas bond must be written in an amount deemed sufficient by the Court holding jurisdiction. Courts regularly require a surety bond equal to one and one half to two times the amount of the judgment however a lesser amount may be ordered. Sufficiency of bond and sureties fall exclusively within the discretion of the presiding judge or magistrate. A rather high statutory post-judgment interest rate, right to attorney's fees and the long tail of appeals are general considerations when setting bond.
