Practice question
While the main case remains pending, a judgment resolves one separate claim against one of several parties. The court has not allowed an appeal under Rule 41, Section 1(f). Counsel insists that complete disposal of that claim always permits immediate appeal. Which is correct?
- The express qualification for separate dispositions must be respected; immediate appeal cannot simply be assumed without the court's allowance.
- Every resolved claim is independently appealable without conditions.
- Counsel may supply the court's allowance by signing a notice.
- The appellate court's jurisdiction comes from a private settlement alone.
- The rule applies only to criminal bail.
