California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 13 — Appeals in Civil Actions, Chapter 2 — Stay of Enforcement and Other Proceedings, Section 918

(a) Subject to subdivision (b), the trial court may stay the enforcement of any judgment or order.

(b) If the enforcement of the judgment or order would be stayed on appeal only by the giving of an undertaking, a trial court shall not have power, without the consent of the adverse party, to stay the enforcement thereof pursuant to this section for a period which extends for more than 10 days beyond the last date on which a notice of appeal could be filed.

(c) This section applies whether or not an appeal will be taken from the judgment or order and whether or not a notice of appeal has been filed.

Notes

Allows the trial court to stay enforcement of a judgment or order whether or not an appeal is taken. If appellate enforcement would require an undertaking, however, bars a nonconsensual trial-court stay lasting more than 10 days beyond the last date for filing a notice of appeal.
