Stay

A stay is an appellate court order that suspends and blocks enforcement of a lower court order. A court can also stay its own order pending an appeal to a higher court.

> A judicial order forbidding or holding in abeyance some action until some particular event occurs, or until the court lifts the stay. [1]
