A Tennessee Appeal Bond is a type of surety bond required by a court in order to allow a defendant to appeal a civil judgment against them. The bond acts as a guarantee to the court that the defendant is financially responsible for the judgment amount should the appeal fail and the judgment stands. The amount of the bond is usually the same as the amount of the original judgment, plus interest and court costs. There are two main types of Tennessee Appeal Bonds: a Full Bond and a Partial Bond. A Full Bond guarantees the full amount of the judgment, while a Partial Bond guarantees only a portion of the judgment amount.
