The Deputy Judge's Order 14A determination on the validity of the 1991 personal guarantee decided a crucial and substantial issue between the plaintiff and the 2nd defendant and thus constituted a final judgment; therefore an appeal required a Court of Appeal of three Justices and the two-judge Court of Appeal lacked jurisdiction, rendering its judgment a nullity to be set aside and the appeal remitted for rehearing before a properly constituted Court of Appeal.
