of an injunction during the pendency of an appeal.
(2) In its discretion and on such conditions for the security of
the adverse party as are proper, the court may stay the execution
of or any proceedings to enforce a judgment pending the disposition of a motion for a new trial, or to alter or amend a judgment,
or of a motion for relief from a judgment or order.
(3) When an appeal is taken from an interlocutory or final
judgment or appealable order granting, dissolving or denying an
injunction, the court in its discretion may suspend, modify, restore, or grant an injunction during the pendency of the appeal
upon such terms as to bond or otherwise as it considers proper for
the security of the rights of the adverse party.
(4) When an appeal is taken, the appellant may obtain a stay
in accordance with s. 808.07.
(5) This section does not limit any power of an appellate court
or of a judge or justice thereof to stay proceedings during the pendency of an appeal or to suspend, modify, restore, or grant an injunction during the pendency of an appeal or to make any order
appropriate to preserve the existing state of affairs or the effectiveness of the judgment subsequently to be entered.
(6) When a court has rendered a final judgment under the
conditions stated in s. 806.01 (2), the court may stay enforcement
of that judgment until the entering of a subsequent judgment or
judgments and may prescribe such conditions as are necessary to
secure the benefit thereof to the party in whose favor the judgment is entered.
