§ 8.01-631. Injunction bond
Except in the case of a fiduciary or any other person from whom in the opinion of the court awarding an injunction it may be improper or unnecessary to require bond, no injunction shall take effect until bond be given in such penalty as the court awarding it may direct, with condition either to pay the judgment or decree, proceedings on which are enjoined, or to pay the value of the property levied on by the officer, when there has been a levy, or to have the property forthcoming to abide the future order or decree of court, and, in either case, to pay all such costs as may be awarded against the party obtaining the injunction, and all such damages as may be incurred, in case the injunction shall be dissolved, and with a further condition, if a forthcoming bond has been given under such judgment or decree, to indemnify and save harmless the sureties in such forthcoming bond and their representatives against all loss or damage in consequence of such suretyship, or, if the injunction be not to proceedings on a judgment or decree, with such condition as the court or judge may prescribe. The bond shall be given before the clerk of the court in which the judgment or decree is, and, in other cases, before the clerk of the court in which the suit is, wherein the injunction is awarded.
For any temporary or permanent injunction sought by, or awarded to, the Commonwealth, or any of its officers or agencies, no bond shall be required.
