Q: A motion for relief from automatic stay was granted and stated as such on docket.Does there need to be an order aswell?
Is the granting of a motion from relief from automatic stay constitute an order or must the judge actually enter an order based upon granted motion? I’m trying to understand when the 14 day stay of relief starts and when the creditor can continue pursuing collection activities? Does the 14 day stay begin on the day after docket states motion is granted or day after an order is entered (if one is even requires)?
A: Usually an order is tendered with the motion and signed although a calendar order or notation is just as effective. Call the clerks office and ask if the order has been entered. Time starts to run from entry of the order or notation.
