A Louisiana Appeal Bond is a type of surety bond used to guarantee payment of the costs of an appeal in the State of Louisiana. It is required when a party files an appeal from a lower court’s judgment and is necessary to ensure that the appellant will pay the costs associated with the appeal. The bond is typically set at the full amount of the lower court’s judgment, ensuring that if the appellant loses the appeal, they will be able to make the necessary payment. Depending on the situation, there are two different types of Louisiana Appeal Bond: a Full Appeal Bond and a Partial Appeal Bond. A Full Appeal Bond is the full amount of the lower court’s judgment, while a Partial Appeal Bond is a portion of the total amount.
