The answer to Saturday's question is a) stay of proceedings. Here is our definition taken from "Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution: Vocabulary Series":
Stay of Proceedings (noun): This is an order from the court that the proceedings are stopped for a period of time. It is common for claims to be stayed for a certain length of time, but it is also possible for proceedings to be stayed indefinitely. Indefinitely means that there is no specific time limit. Stays are also sometimes known as ‘Tomlin Orders’, named after the judge who introduced the concept to the courts. Associated Words: Claim (noun), Order (noun), Proceedings (noun).
