STAY PENDING ACTION ON PETITION FOR REVIEW


Rule 1781. Stay Pending Action on Petition for Review or Petition for Specialized Review.

 (a)  Application to government unit.—Application for a stay or supersedeas of an order or other determination of any government unit pending review in an appellate court on petition for review or petition for specialized review shall ordinarily be made in the first instance to the government unit.

 (b)  Contents of application for stay or supersedeas.—An application for stay or supersedeas of an order or other determination of a government unit, or for an order granting an injunction pending review, or for relief in the nature of peremptory mandamus, may be made to the appellate court or to a judge thereof, but the application shall show that application to the government unit for the relief sought is not practicable, or that application has been made to the government unit and denied, with the reasons given by it for the denial, or that the action of the government unit did not afford the relief that the applicant had requested. The application shall also show the reasons for the relief requested and the facts relied upon, and if the facts are subject to dispute, the application shall be supported by sworn or verified statements or copies thereof. With the application shall be filed such parts, if any, of the record as are relevant to the relief sought. The application shall contain the certificate of compliance required by Pa.R.A.P. 127.

 (c)  Notice and action by court.—Upon such notice to the government unit as is required by Pa.R.A.P. 123, the appellate court, or a judge thereof, may grant an order of stay or supersedeas, including the grant of an injunction pending review or relief in the nature of peremptory mandamus, upon such terms and conditions, including the filing of security, as the court or the judge thereof may prescribe. Where a statute requires that security be filed as a condition to obtaining a supersedeas, the court shall require adequate security.
