a stay

Post by pdh0224 »

Dear teacher,

The government can ask the full appeals court to review the decision by the three-judge panel or ask the Supreme Court to hear the case. In either event, the government may also ask for a stay of the decision.

Q : The meaning of "stay" in the sentence means "delay",doesn't it?


All the best,
