A: If no Bond is filed by the appellant/tenant, and no stay is granted by the Appellate Court, then the Trial Court probably has a duty, and certainly the right, to issue the Writ of Possession upon being called upon to do so. The landlord might be sued for damages later if the tenant wins on appeal.
