When a motion to compel arbitration is denied in a lower court and the defendant files an appeal, does that automatically stay proceedings in the lower court?
Since the rules and laws can vary from one court to another, the question is in relation to Special Civil Part (eviction) in NJ.
Based on my understanding, if the defendants can prove significant harm if the case proceeds in the lower courts before it has a chance to be reviewed in the Appellate Division it would cause a stay to proceedings.
Would an eviction be considered significant harm?
