The test for staying the proceedings is typically based on the principles of fairness, justice, and the interests of the parties involved. The court will consider factors such as the complexity of the case, the likelihood of success, the potential for prejudice or harm to one party, and the overall interests of justice in determining whether to stay the proceedings. Ultimately, the court will weigh these factors to determine whether it is appropriate to temporarily halt the legal process.
