An interlocutory order can be appealed only with what?

An interlocutory order can be appealed only with what?

• A. Permission from the court
• B. Automatically appealable
• C. Only after trial
• D. Judicial review by the clerk

Answer: (A)

Interlocutory orders are decisions made before the case reaches final judgment, and in North Carolina you don’t get an automatic right to appeal them. To pursue appellate review of such orders, you must obtain permission from the trial court. This leave-to-appeal requirement acts as a gate, since the general rule is that most rulings aren’t appealable until final judgment unless a specific statute or rule allows an immediate appeal. Without the court’s permission, no appeal may proceed. Once permission is granted, you can take the matter to the appellate court for review. The other options don’t fit NC practice because there isn’t an automatic appeal right, you don’t wait until after trial for interlocutory issues, and the clerk does not authorize an appeal.
