3-9-116 . Stay pending posttrial motions and appeal.
(1)Upon the filing of a judgment or order of the workers' compensation judge, a party may apply to the workers' compensation judge, upon notice or ex parte, for a stay of execution of the judgment or order. The stay may be for a period of time and be under conditions that the judge considers proper. A stay of execution under this subsection may not extend for more than 30 days following the judge's disposition of posttrial motions.
(2)The appellant may request of the workers' compensation judge or the supreme court, upon service of a notice of appeal, a stay of execution of the judgment or order pending resolution of the appeal. The appellant may request a stay by presenting a supersedeas bond to the workers' compensation judge and obtaining the approval of the bond. The bond must have two sufficient sureties or a corporate surety as authorized by law. A court granting a stay may waive the bond requirement. The procedure for requesting a stay and posting a supersedeas bond must be the same as the procedure in Rule 22, Montana Rules of Appellate Procedure.
