A "stay" refers to a temporary pause in a legal or judicial proceeding, such as a court order halting a trial, eviction, or debt collection. It provides relief for parties awaiting appeals, negotiations, or financial restructuring. Debtors, tenants, and litigants benefit from stays, gaining time to comply, resolve disputes, or avoid immediate enforcement.
