(f) Supreme Court’s Power Not Limited. This rule does not limit the power of the supreme court or one of its justices: (1) to stay proceedings — or suspend, modify, restore, or grant an injunction — while an appeal is pending; or (2) to issue an order to preserve the status quo or the effectiveness of the judgment to be entered. (g) Stay with Multiple Claims or Parties. A chancery court may stay the enforcement of a final judgment entered under Rule 54(b) until it enters a later judgment or judgments, and may prescribe terms necessary to secure the benefit of the stayed judgment for the party in whose favor it was entered.
