A Motion to Impose Stay is a legal motion that is made by a party in a case to suspend or delay the proceedings or execution of a court order. This motion is usually used in civil cases, and its purpose is to protect the interests of the party that is making the motion. The motion is typically used when one party has a legal right to enforce a court order, but wants to delay that enforcement in order to give the other party an opportunity to comply with the court order. Different types of Motion to Impose Stay include a Motion to Stay Execution of Judgment, a Motion to Stay Enforcement of Judgment, and a Motion to Stay Proceedings. A Motion to Stay Execution of Judgment is a request to delay the execution of a court order, such as an order requiring the payment of money or the return of property. A Motion to Stay Enforcement of Judgment is a request to delay the enforcement of a court order, such as an order requiring the payment of a debt or the execution of a contract. A Motion to Stay Proceedings is a request to delay the proceedings of a case.
