Colorado § 13-10-121

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 13: Courts
• Art.: Municipal Courts

Text

(1) The bond shall be
conditioned that the appellant will duly prosecute such appeal and satisfy any
judgment that may be rendered upon trial of the case in the appropriate appellate
court to which appeal is taken pursuant to section 13-10-116 and that the appellant
will surrender himself in satisfaction of such judgment if that is required.

(2) If the bond is forfeited, the appellate court, upon motion of the
municipality, shall enter judgment against the appellant and sureties on the bond
for the amount of such bond. The appellate court, with the consent of the
municipality, shall enter judgment against the appellant and sureties on the bond
for the amount of such bond. The appellate court, with the consent of the
municipality, may set aside or modify the judgment.

(3) Any municipality may provide by ordinance such other bond terms and
conditions as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this article. The filing of
such bond or any notice thereof of record shall not constitute any lien against any
property of the sureties.

(4) When the condition of the bond has been satisfied or the forfeiture
thereof set aside or remitted, the municipal court shall exonerate the obligors and
release the bond. At any time before final judgment in the appellate court, a surety
may be exonerated by a deposit of cash in the amount of the bond or by timely
surrender of the appellant into custody.
