156. Appeal not to operate as stay of execution or enforcement
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2021.
Except in the cases mentioned in subsection (4), no appeal operates as a stay of execution or enforcement.
The trial court may stay execution or enforcement on any judgment, order, conviction or sentence pending appeal on such terms as to security for the payment of any money or the performance or non-performance of any act or the suffering of any punishment ordered by or in such judgment, order, conviction or sentence as to the Military Court of Appeal may seem reasonable.
If the appellant is ultimately sentenced to imprisonment, the time during which the execution of the sentence was stayed must be excluded in computing the term of the sentence unless the Military Court of Appeal otherwise orders.

if notice is so given the sentence must not be executed until after the determination of the appeal.
