D.C. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 65.1
Proceedings Against a Security Provider
Whenever these rules require or allow a party to give security, and security is given
with one or more security providers, each provider submits to the court’s jurisdiction and
irrevocably appoints the court clerk as its agent for receiving service of any papers that
affect its liability on the security. The security provider’s liability may be enforced on
motion without an independent action. The motion and any notice that the court orders
may be served on the court clerk, who must promptly send a copy of each to every
security provider whose address is known.
History
COMMENT TO 2019 AMENDMENTS This rule was amended consistent with the 2018 amendments to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65.1. It reflects the amendments to Rule 62, which permits stay of a judgment “by a bond or other security.” COMMENT TO 2017 AMENDMENTS This rule is identical to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65.1, as amended in 2007, except that it maintains one local distinction—the omission of a reference to the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions. COMMENT Identical to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65.1 except for the deletion therefrom of the inapplicable reference to Supplemental Rules for Admiralty Cases in the federal District Courts.
