Usually, a plaintiff seeking a prejudgment writ of attachment must post a surety bond of up to two times the amount of the damages claimed by the plaintiff. Common grounds for obtaining a prejudgment writ of attachment are that a defendant has committed fraud or that a defendant is prepared to hide assets from a court.
Generally, when a plaintiff seeks a preliminary court order to seize funds, they are required to provide a surety bond equivalent to at least double the amount in dispute. Reasons for this action often involve fraudulent behavior or plans to hide assets during legal processes.
