Legal Definitions - appealable decision

An appealable decision is a ruling, order, or judgment made by a court or agency that can be reviewed by a higher court. It can be a final decision or an interlocutory decision that is immediately appealable by statute.

• An order granting summary judgment
• An order denying immunity to a police officer in a civil-rights suit

These examples illustrate appealable decisions because they are final or immediately appealable by statute. If a party disagrees with the decision, they can appeal to a higher court for review.
