HB 2319 Appellate jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals.
Introduced by: James F. Almand | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Appellate jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals. Grants jurisdiction to the Court of Appeals to review interlocutory appeals of pendente lite orders of support only when (i) matters of significant precedential value are raised, (ii) immediate review will advance the termination of litigation or clarify important legal issues for the parties or the public, (iii) failure to allow an appeal of the interlocutory order or decree would result in an undue hardship upon one of the parties, or (iv) immediate review is necessary in order to attain the ends of justice.
Presently, an order of support cannot be appealed until there is a final order of the trial court. This exception would allow interlocutory appeals only in limited cases and is a recommendation of the Virginia Bar Association.
