Full Text of § 1391
Amendment History
R.L. 1910, § 4876.
Plain-English Summary
An enjoined party isn't stuck with whatever security was posted at the start. At any point before judgment, that party can move, on reasonable notice, for additional security. If it turns out the surety on the original undertaking has left the state or isn't sufficient, the court can vacate the injunction outright -- unless sufficient security is given within a reasonable time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ask for more security if I'm the one being enjoined?
Yes. Section 1391 lets the enjoined party move for additional security at any time before judgment, on reasonable notice.
What happens if the surety on the injunction bond becomes insufficient?
The court may vacate the injunction, unless sufficient security is given within a reasonable time.
What if the original surety moved out of state?
That's one of the grounds the section lists for vacating the injunction, again unless sufficient security is given in time.
