Full Text of Section 813.11
Plain-English Summary
An injunction is not necessarily the last word on security. Section 813.11 lets the enjoined party apply, upon notice, for additional security, and lets that party combine the request with an application to vacate or modify the injunction altogether.
If the presiding judge decides the injunction should continue, the judge may require a further bond, in a sum and with sureties the judge approves, as the price of letting the injunction stay in place. That gives the enjoined party a way to press for more protection without necessarily having to defeat the injunction outright.
