574.18 UNDERTAKING IN LIEU OF BOND.
In all cases of appeal from a county board to the district court upon the allowance or
disallowance of claims, in all actions begun in the district court, in all cases of appeal or writ of
error to remove a cause or proceeding to the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court, and in all
cases of special or equitable proceedings in the district court, the Court of Appeals, or the Supreme
Court, the filing or service, or both, as may be required, of an undertaking, signed by a surety
or sureties, as the law may require, containing a condition substantially the same as required
for bonds, with like sureties, qualifications, and justifications, and without acknowledgment or
signature of the principal, shall be deemed a sufficient compliance with the law to sustain the
action, appeal, or proceeding. Every undertaking shall save and secure all rights and liabilities
to the same extent as a bond. The damages presumed to accrue to the party against whom the
proceeding is taken shall be deemed a sufficient consideration for the undertaking, though no
consideration is mentioned in it. No undertaking or bond need be given upon any appeal or
other proceeding instituted in favor of the state, or any county, city, town, or school district in it,
or of any executor or administrator as such.
