What is the automatic stay rule?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Dowling v. Zimmerman, 103 Cal.Rptr.2d 174, 85 Cal.App.4th 1400 (Cal. App. 2001):
The purpose of the automatic stay rule is "to protect the appellate court's jurisdiction by preserving the status quo until the appeal is decided. The rule prevents the trial court from rendering an appeal futile by altering the appealed judgment or order by conducting other proceedings that may affect it. [Citation.]" (Elsea v. Saberi (1992) 4 Cal.App.4th 625, 629.)
