“At any time during which jurisdiction of the court continues over the parties to the proceedings, the court may, on motion and notice to the parties, subsequently modify the stay order and take any further action in the proceeding as the interests of justice require.” (See U.I.P. Corp. v. Lawyers Title Ins. Corp. (1978) 82 Wis. 2d 616, 621 n.1.)
“The stay should be allowed only when required in the interests of doing substantial justice between the parties.” (See Parker v. Sappi Cloquet, LLC (2014) 855 N.W.2d 492.)
“Mere inconvenience to the court is not enough. Nor is inconvenience to the parties or witnesses enough unless that inconvenience appears likely to result in substantial injustice to one of the parties.” (See id.)
“The general rule is that either the trial court or the appellate court has the inherent power, independent of statute, to grant a stay.” (See Brown Deer v. Milwaukee (1959) 8 Wis. 2d 631, 638.)
“Such a stay should be granted when necessary to preserve the status quo and also when, as in the instant case, the appeal presents debatable questions of law.” (See Brown Deer v. Milwaukee, (1959) 8 Wis. 2d 631, 638.)
“The burden of persuading the court to stay the proceedings under sec. 262.19, Stats., is upon the party seeking the stay.” (See U.I.P. Corp. v. Lawyers Title Ins. Corp. (1978) 82 Wis. 2d 616, 629.)
“The party seeking the stay must show not only that trial in the forum state will be inconvenient and unjust, but show that a trial in another forum is both more convenient and just.” (See id.)
“The decision whether to stay discovery is committed to the trial court's discretion.” (See Dahmen v. American Family Mut. Ins. Co. (2001) 247 Wis. 2d 541, 548-49.)
“The function of this court in reviewing the decision of the trial court on the motion to stay is limited to the determination of whether the trial court abused its discretion.” (See U.I.P. Corp. v. Lawyers Title Ins. Corp. (1978) 82 Wis. 2d 616, 622.)
“We will not reverse the trial court's decision unless it is clearly shown that the trial court failed to consider the relevant facts, apply the proper standard of law and reach a conclusion a reasonable judge could reach.” (See Loy v. Bunderson (1982) 107 Wis.2d 400, 414-15, 320 N.W.2d 175; Dahmen v. American Family Mut. Ins. Co. (2001) 247 Wis. 2d 541, 549.)
It is well settled that “a reviewing court may stay the proceedings if it determines that a stay would be appropriate.” (See Waste Management of Wisconsin, Inc. v. State Department of Natural Resources (1989) 149 Wis. 2d 817, 831.)
However, “when reviewing a motion for a stay, a circuit court cannot simply input its own judgment on the merits of the case and conclude that a stay is not warranted. The relevant inquiry is whether the movant made a strong showing of success on appeal.” (See Waity v. Lemahieu (2022) WI 6, 32.)
