SECTION 78

(1) The representative of the State may attach a request for stay of execution to his appeal. Such request shall be granted where one of the grounds raised is deemed given the state of proceedings, to be serious and warrants the quashing of the impugned instrument. (2) Where the contentious instrument is likely to undermine the exercise of a public or individual freedom, the president of the administrative court to which the matter is referred or one of its members delegated for that purpose, shall order a stay of execution within no more than 48 (forty-eight) hours. (3) The administrative court may, on its own motion, order a stay of execution of any public contract referred to it by the representative of the State for quashing.
