The first disposes of the subject
matter in its entirety or terminates a particular proceeding or action, leaving
nothing more to be done except to enforce by execution what the court has determined,
but the latter does not completely dispose of the case but leaves
something else to be decided upon. An interlocutory order deals with
preliminary matters and the trial on the merits is yet to be held and the
judgment rendered. The test to ascertain
whether or not an order or a judgment is interlocutory or final is: does the order or judgment leave something
to be done in the trial court with respect to the merits of the case? If it
does, the order or judgment is interlocutory; otherwise, it is final.
