                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

INJUNCTION BOND (§ 8.01-631)

A. Except in the case of a fiduciary or any other person from whom in the
opinion of the court awarding an injunction it may be improper or unnecessary to
require bond, no temporary injunction shall take effect until the movant gives
bond with security in an amount that the trial court considers proper to pay the
costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been incorrectly
enjoined, with such conditions as the trial court may prescribe.

B. When an appeal is taken from an interlocutory order or final judgment
granting, dissolving, or denying a permanent injunction, and while the appeal is
pending, the trial court in its discretion may suspend, modify, restore, or
grant an injunction during the pendency of the appeal upon such terms as to bond
or otherwise as it considers proper for the security of the rights of the
adverse party.

C. The bond shall be given before the clerk of the court in which the injunction
is awarded.

D. An order by the trial court under subsection A or B may be modified or
vacated by the appellate court having jurisdiction over the appeal in accordance
with &#xA7; 8.01-676.1.

E. For any temporary or permanent injunction sought by, or awarded to, the
Commonwealth, or any of its officers or agencies, no bond shall be required.
