Uses

[edit]

Two different senses of execution used here. 82.110.248.146 (talk) 13:26, 28 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes - fixed. Tempshill (talk) 17:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Two suggestions

[edit]

There should be three options:

  • 1)Automatic Stay
  • 2)Instances in which parties agree to a stay
  • 3)Instances in which one party seeks a stay order but that order is opposed by the other council. Golden Gate Restaurant Association v. San Francisco is a good example of this.

What would really be great is a section talking about one what grounds a stay order might be granted, or what the test is for a stay order.Piratejosh85 (talk) 04:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Death

[edit]

Is this page really within the category of death? Seems more about law. Piratejosh85 (talk) 16:38, 13 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Discourse on the term "execution"

[edit]

"The word "execution" does not necessarily mean the death penalty; it refers to the imposition of whatever judgment is being stayed." Is it necessary to clarify the meaning of "execution" here? I can't help but feel that it's redundant. The preceding sentence - "A stay of execution is a court order to temporarily suspend the execution of a court judgment or other court order" -- defines the term clearly enough. Although stays are - as the second section of the article states - "often sought to defer execution of the convicted person", I don't think there's enough room for confusion to warrant an explanation. I would assume most people reading this article are at least intuitively aware that the term "execution" does not solely refer to the act of putting someone to death, but also the performance of any action. Perhaps I'm wrong about that, though. --Boyhominid (talk) 18:23, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
