A
motion to stay enforcement of an order awarding worker’s compensation benefits will
not be granted unless it is shown that irreparable damage must ensue to the
employer unless a stay is issued. A.S.C.A. § 32.0652. Star-Kist Samoa, Inc. v. Comm’r
of the American Samoa Gov’t Workmen’s Comp. Comm’n., 1 A.S.R.3d 67 (1997).
The
fact that the employer might have difficulty recovering the repayment of
compensation from the employee if the award to the employee is reversed on appeal, is insufficient reason to grant a stay. Star-Kist Samoa, Inc. v. Comm’r of the American Samoa Gov’t
Workmen’s Comp. Comm’n., 1 A.S.R.3d 67 (1997).
