An Order Imposing Stay is an order issued by a court that prevents any action from being taken on a legal matter until further notice. This type of order is commonly used to temporarily put a halt to a pending lawsuit or other legal proceedings. It is also used when a party is in danger of losing property or when a court needs to prevent irreparable harm from occurring. There are two types of Order Imposing Stay: temporary and permanent. A temporary stay is issued for a limited period of time, usually until a court hearing or other event occurs. A permanent stay is issued with no expiration date and is typically used when a court believes that an action should be stopped permanently. In all cases, the court must consider the fairness and balance of the parties involved in the case.
