Yes, the other party may challenge the stay in court, arguing that it should be lifted so that the case can proceed without delay.
Once a stay is lifted, the case can resume where it left off, and parties can continue to move forward with their legal action.
Most stays are temporary, intended to pause proceedings for a specific period, rather than putting a permanent end to the case.
The duration of a stay can vary; it might last until a specific issue is resolved or until a certain date set by the court.
Generally, any party involved in a legal case can ask the court for a stay, often when they believe it’s necessary to protect their rights or interests.

An order imposing a stay is like hitting the pause button on a court case, allowing time for certain issues to be resolved before moving forward.
