Definition of final order

A final order is a legal decision or ruling that concludes a case and cannot be appealed. It is the last decision made by a court or administrative agency in a legal matter.

  • After a long legal battle, the judge issued a final order granting custody of the children to the mother.
  • The Environmental Protection Agency issued a final order requiring the company to clean up the contaminated site.

These examples illustrate how a final order is the ultimate decision in a legal matter. Once a final order is issued, the case is considered closed and cannot be appealed.
