Introduced by: Eric I. Cantor | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Civil remedies; appeal bond. Places a limit on the maximum amount of a bond necessary for an appeal, from a domestic or foreign judgment where damages other than compensatory damages have been awarded, which stays the execution of a judgment. If the appellee proves that the appellant is purposefully dissipating or diverting its assets for the purpose of evading the judgment, the bill provides that the limitation on the bond shall be rescinded and the full amount required. The bill has an emergency clause and applies to any action pending on or filed after the effective date of the bill.
