In Re: Antero Treatment v. Veolia Water

Summary

The court held that the statutory $25 million supersedeas-bond cap is constitutional because it can be harmonized with the applicable procedural rule and principally serves substantive public-policy interests. It also held that the equal-protection challenge was waived and would fail under rational-basis review even if considered. Applying abuse-of-discretion review, the court upheld the trial court's refusal to require additional security or post-judgment discovery. No separate opinions were filed.
