cesset executio

Cesset executio is a legal term that means to "let execution stay." It is an order that directs a stay of execution, which means to temporarily stop or delay the carrying out of a court order or sentence.

• After the defendant filed an appeal, the judge issued a cesset executio to delay the execution of the sentence until the appeal was heard.
• The plaintiff requested a cesset executio to stop the enforcement of the court order until they could provide additional evidence.

These examples illustrate how cesset executio is used in legal proceedings to temporarily halt the execution of a court order or sentence. It allows for additional time to be given to the parties involved to provide more evidence or to appeal the decision.
