Section 42 applies because the appellant failed to comply with a bankruptcy notice and has appealed the underlying substantive judgment; the appeal is not hopeless on its face, the appellant has not unduly delayed, and the balance of convenience — including risk of rendering appeal nugatory and substantial hardship to the appellant — favors halting the bankruptcy application pending determination of the appeal.
