Whether a judgment or order can be enforced during the appeal is a complex matter.

Some types of judgments and orders are automatically stayed during the appeal period. Most of the time, however, the Appellant must post a monetary undertaking or take other steps in order to secure future performance of the judgment in the event the appeal is lost. Unless these steps are taken, the judgment or order can be enforced by the other party.

Your appellate attorney can advise you about the enforceability of the judgment or order during the appeal, and how to perfect a stay if you are the Appellant.
