I think the 21 day stay is there to prevent the trust from paying out on Nov 1st. Notice that the attorney originally asked for 30 day stay. What attorney has a month long vacation planned right around the time of potential trial going into this hearing?
Maybe she'll come back in 21 days and ask for a 9 month long stay for maternity leave..."Your Honor, I got impregnated while on vacation and will like to request a 9 month stay for my pregnancy."
Its looking like they will try to delay this into next year to buy more time.
