Ind. Appellate Rule 18
Appeal Bonds—Letters of Credit
Effective January 1, 2011
No appeal bond shall be necessary to prosecute an appeal from any Final Judgment or
appealable interlocutory order. Enforcement of a Final Judgment or appealable interlocutory
order from a money judgment shall be stayed during appeal upon the giving of a bond, an
irrevocable letter of credit, or other form of security approved by a trial court or Administrative Agency. The trial court or Administrative Agency shall have jurisdiction to fix and
approve the bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or other form of security, and order a stay prior
to or pending an appeal. After the trial court or Administrative Agency decides the issue of a
stay, the Court on Appeal may reconsider the issue at any time upon a showing, by certified
copies, of the trial court's action. The Court on Appeal may grant or deny the stay and set or
modify the bond, letter of credit, or other form of security. No bond, letter of credit, or other
form of security shall be required from any party exempted from bond by Trial Rule 62(E).
This rule creates no right to a stay where precluded by law.
