“No appeal bond shall be necessary to prosecute an appeal.... Enforcement of a Final Judgment ... shall be stayed during appeal upon the giving of a bond_The trial court ... shall have jurisdiction to fix and approve the bond ... and order a stay prior to or pending an appeal. After the trial court ... decides the issue of a stay, the Court on Appeal may reconsider the issue at any time upon a showing, by certified copies, of the trial court’s action. The Court on Appeal may grant or deny the stay and set or modify the bond.... This rule creates no right to a stay where precluded by law.”
