The finality of an order from the RCP (Rent Control and Eviction) Court regarding the filing of an appeal before the district court is generally governed by the procedural rules and statutory provisions applicable to such proceedings. Typically, an order issued by the RCP Court on the matter of filing an appeal is considered interlocutory or preliminary, and its finality depends on whether it is a procedural or substantive decision (!) .

In most cases, an order permitting or denying the filing of an appeal is not itself final in the sense of disposing of the substantive rights of the parties but is instead an interlocutory order that governs the procedural aspect of the case. Such orders are usually subject to review or reconsideration and do not bar the parties from pursuing the appeal itself once the procedural requirements are satisfied (!) .

However, once the RCP Court issues a final order on the substantive issues—such as the merits of the case or the validity of the appeal—this order is considered conclusive and binding, subject to appeal within the prescribed period. The appellate court's review of such an order is generally the final step in the process, and unless there are exceptional circumstances or specific statutory provisions allowing for further review, the appellate court's decision becomes conclusive and binding (!) .

Therefore, the order from the RCP Court regarding the filing of an appeal before the district court is typically not final in itself but is subject to further review or appeal. Once the appellate court rules on the appeal, its decision is usually final and binding, barring any permissible further legal remedies. The finality of such an order hinges on whether it disposes of the substantive rights or merely addresses procedural compliance, as well as the applicable legal provisions governing appeals in this context (!) .
