History
Task Force Comment - 1991 Adoption This rule is derived from Rule 24 of the Code of Rules for the District Courts. By statute, governmental entities are not required to post bonds for temporary restraining orders. Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 574.18. In addition, the court may waive the bond requirement when granting an order temporarily restraining an action on a contract for the conveyance of real estate. Minnesota Statutes 1990, section 559.211. Accordingly, a specific provision allowing waiver of the bond requirement is included in the rule for cases provided by law.
