<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">And I agree with John. However, someone did make a comment if there is a need to increase the bond. That is where the problem may arise. The lender is not a party to the case so when the contractor comes into
court requesting an increase in the bond—the person who put up the bond is not there. Judge cannot compel a non-party to put up more money and the contractor may end up under-secured.

Good question though. Let me know if you find the answer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
