- No; substantial remaining adjudication prevents treating inconvenience alone as final disposition
- Yes, any financial inconvenience ends jurisdiction
- Yes, every provisional order becomes final on service
- Yes, the recipient can declare the merits resolved
- Yes, expense automatically supplies appellate jurisdiction
