suspensão de eficácia

suspensão de eficácia (suspension of a decision's effect)
An urgent measure requested from an administrative court so that a government body's decision is not carried out while it is being challenged. It is requested separately, either together with the appeal or within a case already under way.
Where you come across it. Removal, refusal of protection, an AIMA refusal, any decision that takes effect immediately.
In many cases an appeal on its own does not halt enforcement — only this measure does, and you need to ask for it straight away, not later.
