Definition: A traditional term for judicial process suspending enforcement of a judgment or order pending review. Modern procedures commonly address the issue through a stay and, when required, a bond.
Example
A party seeks to prevent enforcement while an appeal is considered and follows the applicable stay procedure.
Keep the distinction clear
Do not assume filing an appeal automatically stops enforcement or that every stay requires a separate writ. Current procedural rules determine the available method and conditions.
