supersedeas
/s(y)uwparsiydiyas/
The name of a writ containing a command to stay the proceedings at law. A suspension of the power of a trial court to issue an execution on judgment appealed from, or, if writ of execution has issued, it is a prohibition emanating from court of appeal against execution of writ. Stewart v. Hurt, 9 Cal.2d 39, 68 P.2d 726, 727.
An auxiliary process designed to supersede enforcement of trial court's judgment brought up for review, and its application is limited to the judgment from which an appeal is taken. Mascot Pictures Corp. v. Municipal Court of City of Los Angeles, 3 Cal.App.2d 559, 40 P.2d 272.
Originally it was a writ directed to an officer, commanding him to desist from enforcing the execution of another writ which he was about to execute, or which might come in his hands. In modern times the term is often used synonymously with a "stay of proceedings," and is employed to designate the effect of an act or proceeding which of itself suspends the enforcement of a judgment
