Section 15-26A-26 - Appellate procedure--Money judgment--Conditions of bond on appeal. - South Dakota Statutes

15-26A-26. Appellate procedure--Money judgment--Conditions of bond on appeal. If the appeal is from a judgment directing the payment of money, the conditions of the bond required by § 15-26A-25 shall be the payment of the judgment or that part of the judgment which is affirmed together with interest thereon from the date of the judgment. The amount of the bond required collectively of all appellants may not exceed twenty-five million dollars regardless of the amount of judgment. If the appellee proves by a preponderance of the evidence that an appellant whose bond has been so limited has been dissipating assets outside the ordinary course of business to avoid payment of a judgment, the court may require the appellant to execute a bond in an amount up to the full amount of judgment.
