17:31-12 Deposit of amount of order or judgment on appeal.
3. Whenever a surety company, or bail agent or agency acting on its behalf, files an appeal in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, or the Supreme Court of New Jersey, from a judgment or order entered against it by a court to enforce the forfeiture of a bail bond pursuant to the Rules Governing the Courts of the State of New Jersey, the surety company shall deposit the full amount of the order or judgment in cash or by certified, cashiers or bank check with the Clerk of the Superior Court or Supreme Court, as appropriate. The court may allow the posting of a supersedeas bond, in a form approved by the court, upon the showing of good cause; provided, however, that good cause shall not mean an application by a surety to extend the time to forfeit a bond, to stay payment of a forfeiture of default judgment, or to extend the time to locate a defendant.
