Definition
A matter is "Final" in the trial court or agency when there are no open issues to be decided. That is, all counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims and applications for counsel fees have been decided, and all consolidated actions have been disposed. However, the trial court or agency may still decide motions for stay or for enforcement of its orders. Matters that are final may be appealed as of right, by the filing of a notice of appeal.
