Annotation de l'entreprise
Section 239 sets the order of consideration where an appeal against an interlocutory order and an appeal against the judgment are both before the appellate court. The order-appeal is to be considered first, so far as possible, regardless of docketing sequence, because its outcome may affect how the judgment-appeal is decided. The rule applies to the situation where an order is appealed while the case is otherwise moving to judgment, and it does not prevent an appeal against an interim order made together with the judgment appeal from being decided in a single appellate judgment. Where the appellate court overlooks the order-appeal, that is a procedural error the higher court may correct.
Pourquoi cela est important en pratique
If you are appealing both an order and the judgment, make sure the appellate court addresses the order-appeal, because its result can change the whole picture. In practice, an appeal against an interim order made together with the judgment appeal should be set out in the same appeal document or answer, and the appellate court may decide everything in one judgment. If the appellate court decides the judgment-appeal but ignores your order-appeal, that omission can be raised as an error and corrected on further appeal. Flag the sequencing point expressly in your appeal so it is not overlooked.

Where a party appeals an order together with the appeal against the judgment, the appellate court must consider the appeal against the order first under Section 239; failing to do so is improper.
The objecting party appealed the order refusing an additional witness list together with the appeal against the judgment.

Under Section 239, the appeal against the order must be considered before the appeal against the judgment, so far as possible, even if the judgment-appeal was entered in the docket first.
Can an order and a judgment be appealed in one document?
Yes. An appeal against an interim order made together with the judgment appeal may be combined in the same appeal document or answer, and the appellate court may decide them in a single judgment, which is not contrary to Section 239.
What if the appellate court ignores my appeal against the order?
That is improper. Where the appellate court fails to consider the order-appeal first as required by Section 239, the higher court may treat it as an error and decide the point itself.
