Supersedeas Bonds

(a) Whenever an appellant so entitled desires a stay on appeal, appellant

may present to the trial court a supersedeas bond in such amount as shall be

fixed by the trial court and with surety or sureties to be approved by the court

or by the clerk of court. The bond shall be conditioned for the satisfaction of the

judgment in full together with costs, interest, and damages for delay, if for any

reason the appeal is not perfected or is dismissed, or if the judgment is

affirmed, and to satisfy in full such modification of the judgment and such

costs, interest, and damages as the appellate court may adjudge and award.

(b) When the judgment is for the recovery of money not otherwise secured,

the amount of the bond shall be fixed at such sum as will cover the whole

amount of the judgment remaining and unsatisfied, costs on appeal, and

interest, unless the court, after notice and hearing and for good cause shown,

fixes a different amount or orders security other than the bond. When the

judgment determines the disposition of the property in controversy, as in real

actions, replevin, and actions to foreclose mortgages, or when such property is

in the custody of the sheriff, or when the proceeds of such property or a bond

for its value is in the custody or control of the court, the amount of the

supersedeas bond shall be fixed at the sum as will secure the amount recovered

for the use and detention of the property, the costs of the action, costs on

appeal, interest, and damages for delay. When appellant has already filed a

surety bond in the trial court, a separate supersedeas bond need not be given,

except for the difference in amount as determined by the trial court to be

attributable to the appeal.

(c) When the judgment directs the execution, assignment or delivery of a

conveyance or other instrument, appellant may execute, assign or deliver the

conveyance or other instrument, leaving same in the custody of the clerk of the

trial court in which the judgment was rendered, there to remain and abide the

judgment of the appellate court, and in such case appellant shall give bond

only for costs on appeal and damages for delay.

(d) Executors, administrators and guardians shall be required to give a

supersedeas bond.
