Supersedeas Bond Appeal Process

Summary

In Kentucky, posting a supersedeas bond in the statutory required amount generally stays the execution of a judgment pending appeal. The opposing party can object to the bonds sufficiency, and the judge has discretion to rule on its adequacy. If the bond does not cover all potential costs or meet court requirements, the judge may find it insufficient. Consult with an attorney to ensure compliance with statutory requirements and prepare to address objections.

Can a trial court deny an appeal to the Kentucky Supreme Court if a supersedeas bond is posted in the statutory required amount?
Hey ****! In Kentucky, if a supersedeas bond is posted in the statutory required amount, it typically stays the enforcement of the trial court's judgment pending appeal. However, the trial court cannot deny the right to appeal itself. The right to appeal is generally preserved as long as procedural requirements are met.
