SECTION 489.210-489.230

489.210. Before issuance of a writ of attachment, a temporary
protective order, or an order under subdivision (b) of Section
491.415, the plaintiff shall file an undertaking to pay the defendant
any amount the defendant may recover for any wrongful attachment by
the plaintiff in the action.

489.220. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the amount of
an undertaking filed pursuant to this article shall be ten thousand
dollars ($10,000).
(b) If, upon objection to the undertaking, the court determines
that the probable recovery for wrongful attachment exceeds the amount
of the undertaking, it shall order the amount of the undertaking
increased to the amount it determines to be the probable recovery for
wrongful attachment if it is ultimately determined that the
attachment was wrongful.

489.230. (a) The notice of attachment shall include a statement, in
a form adopted by the Judicial Council, advising the defendant that
the undertaking has been filed and informing the defendant of the
right to object to the undertaking.
(b) The form for the temporary protective order shall include a
statement comparable to the one required by subdivision (a).
