concurring.

Although this is a summary proceeding under provisions of R.S. 40:1299.47(C)(6) the judgment is not “interlocutory.” It denied the only relief sought, and is a final, appeal-able judgment.

Re: James D. McElveen, applying for Writ of Review, Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal, Parish of Jefferson, No. 5-525.

Granted; appeal is reinstated.

concurring in reinstatement of appeal.

An appeal may be taken from an interlocutory judgment which may cause irreparable injury. C.C.P. Art. 2083. When the error complained of in an appeal from an interlocutory judgment cannot as a practical matter be corrected in a subsequent appeal from the final judgment, then the injury is irreparable.

In the present case, plaintiff sought to have a court reporter transcribe the proceedings before the medical review panel in a malpractice case. When the trial judge denied plaintiffs request, plaintiff appealed. If plaintiff is entitled to have the proceeding transcribed and if the trial court erred in denying plaintiff’s request, then he must have relief now or never. There is no adequate remedy by an appeal after a final judgment on the merits of the case. Therefore, this judgment causes irreparable injury and is appealable.

*774Since this is the type of judgment which should be reviewed immediately in order to prevent delay in the litigation, perhaps the preferable procedure would have been for plaintiff to apply for supervisory writs and for the court of appeal to review the judgment immediately on the merits of the application. The procedural scheme governing appealable interlocutory judgments and supervisory writs needs some clarification and modification, but plaintiff is entitled to immediate review by some procedure.1
