collateral order doctrine in Nebraska

2023In Florida, whether an order on the enforceability of a settlement agreement is final and immediately appealable depends on whether “further judicial labor is needed.” 17 The Appellate Court of Connecticut has held that an order finding a settlement agreement clear and unambiguous and ordering performance was not immediately appealable when further proceedings before a zoning board were required in order to effectuate the agreement. 18 The Connecticut court explained that if the zoning variance could not be obtained, it would be as if no agreement had ever been reached, and that the court woul

2015However, we need not determine at this time what the proper remedy would be for the breach of a tolling agreement, since we conclude the collateral order doctrine does not give us jurisdiction over the present appeals. [20] Even if we accepted the Brashears’ assertion that the agreement provided them with a private right not to be sued on any cause for a limited time and that the remedy is dis- missal of the prematurely filed suits, we find the private right at issue here to be similar to the settlement agreement at issue in Digital Equipment Corp., 511 U.S. at 879 , wherein the U.S. Supreme C

2018Cite as 299 Neb. 621 CONCLUSION Because this appeal was from a nonfinal order and because we overrule the application of the collateral order doctrine to the extent that it authorizes an interlocutory appeal from a denial of sovereign immunity, we dismiss the appeal and cross-appeal.

2007Although the U.S. Supreme Court — applying what has become known as the collateral order doctrine — has carved out a small class of trial court decisions that, though short of a final judgment, are immediately appealable, such decisions are appeal-able because they “finally determine claims of right separable from, and collateral to, rights asserted in the action, too important to be denied review and too independent of the cause itself to require that appellate consideration be deferred until the whole case is adjudicated.” Cohen v. Beneficial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 546 , 69 S. Ct. 1221 ,
