bond, the obligee must have the original bond document in their possession.

Does the surety have the right of subrogation? If yes, can they subrogate against the principle? -

answer✔The right of subrogation under surety agreements exists at common law. If the surety is

required to pay out under the bond, it will have a right of subrogation against the principal. this is

the key distinction from insurance contracts, where subrogation cannot be obtained against an

insured


When is bond subrogation useful? - answer✔The right of subrogation is only useful if the

principal, or its shareholders if guarantees were given, are solvent.


What are bid bonds? - answer✔Bid bonds provide the owner with an immediate remedy if a

bidder's bid is accepted and the bidder refuses to enter into a contract, i.e., the surety will be

required to pay the owner the amount specified in the bond.
