And without a stay of the judgment pending appeal, the NY AG can begin collection on the money starting March 25. If Trump posts the full judgment amount + interest in cash, it will automatically stay the collection - and other parts of the judgment. Or he can try to get a bond, but that is likely to be very rough since the case is about him lying about the value of his assets (collateral)
@LauraWalkerKC I wish that BBC would have been so clear! I normally like them as a news source but too often those that speak legalese are horrendous at translating to common English.
@LauraWalkerKC
The Habba / E. J. Carroll trail was so much fun. I loved reading that the judge had to tell her what he called "Evidence 101" basics.
Also notable - Trump has filed a NOTICE of appeal, not the appeal itself. The attorneys on the notice are Alina Habba and Cliff Robert's firms. So Trump (so far) has been unable to get a top shelf appellate attorney. Habba barely knows trial law.
