South Carolina Supersedeas Bond (Appeal Bond ~ South Carolina)

A South Carolina supersedeas bond can stay proceedings to enforce a judgment pursuant to the court's discretion. Per Appellate Rule 62, "(b), When an appeal is taken, a party by giving a supersedeas bond, may obtain a stay subject to the exceptions contained in subdivision (a) of this Rule 62 and the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules. The appeal bond may be given at or after the time of filing the notice of appeal or of procuring the order allowing the supersedeas bond. The stay is effective when the supersedeas bond is approved by the court."

The statutory section defining the supersedeas bond requirement is found in 18-7-10, "When a judgment is rendered by a magistrates court, a county government entity or by any other inferior court or jurisdiction except probate court, the appeal shall be to the circuit court of the county wherein the judgment was rendered. Supersedeas is "perfected" if the party against whom judgment is rendered files a good and sufficient South Carolina supersedesas bond to pay the amount of the judgment and costs in the event that the appeal is not sustained. Where an appeal bond is filed no executions may issue until the termination of the appeal."
