§ 11-53-5 - How security given

MS Code § 11-53-5 (2015) What's This?

Security for costs may be given by recognizance entered into in open court, or by written undertaking indorsed on or filed with the papers in the cause, or by a deposit with the clerk of the court of the amount in cash or a certified check on any solvent bank in this state. The judgment, when rendered against the plaintiff or complainant, shall be rendered against the surety as well as against the plaintiff or complainant; and execution may be issued as in other cases for all costs for which the plaintiff or complainant may be liable in the cause. Additional security may be required by the court or the justice of the peace, if it appear that the security already taken is insufficient.
