A decision on preliminary issues ordered under RSC O.33 r.3 that goes to the root of the case and substantially disposes of the controversy between the parties (leaving only quantification) is a final judgment for the purposes of Order in Council rule 2(a), entitling the unsuccessful party to appeal to Her Majesty in Council as of right; additionally, where rule 2(b) is relied upon the application should state the question of law relied upon and leave may be granted in the Court's discretion for questions of great general or public importance.
