Effect of defective appeal bond
Sec. 2. The circuit court shall not dismiss a case on account of the
defect or informality of the appeal bond if the appellant, when
required by the court to which the appeal is taken, files in the court
a sufficient bond, with surety to the acceptance of the court, in the
sum required by the court.

IC 34-56-2-3
Additional bond requirement
Sec. 3. In all appealed cases described in section 1 of this chapter,
when costs have accrued so as to render the sum named in the appeal
bond insufficient to secure the costs, the court in which the appeal is
pending shall require the appellant to give an additional bond in such
sum as the court considers sufficient, with surety to the acceptance
of the court. If the appellant fails or refuses to comply with this
section, the court shall dismiss the appeal.
