                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

INTERMEDIATE RELIEF (§ 2.2-4028)

When judicial review is instituted or is about to be, the agency concerned may,
on request of any party or its own motion, postpone the effective date of the
regulation or decision involved where it deems that justice so requires.
Otherwise the court may, on proper application and with or without bond,
deposits in court, or other safeguards or assurances as may be suitable, issue
all necessary and appropriate process to postpone the effective dates or
preserve existing status or rights pending conclusion of the review proceedings
if the court finds the same to be required to prevent immediate, unavoidable,
and irreparable injury and that the issues of law or fact presented are not only
substantial but that there is probable cause for it to anticipate a likelihood
of reversible error in accordance with § 2.2-4027. Actions by the court may
include (i) the stay of operation of agency decisions of an injunctive nature or
those requiring the payment of money or suspending or revoking a license or
other benefit and (ii) continuation of previous licenses in effect until timely
applications for renewal are duly determined by the agency.
