Butler v. City of Ashland
Butler v. City of Ashland
Opinion of the Court
Section 548, Or. L., prescribes:
“A judgment or decree may be reviewed as prescribed in this chapter, and not otherwise. An order affecting a substantial right, and which in effect determines the action or suit so as to prevent a judgment or decree therein, or an interlocutory decree in a suit for the partition of real.property, defining the rights of the parties to the suit and directing sale or partition, or a final order affecting a substantial *74 right, and made in a proceeding after judgment or decree, or an order setting aside a judgment and granting a new trial, for the purpose of being reviewed, shall be deemed a judgment or decree.”
In this suit no judgment or decree has been entered. Final disposition of the suit has not ■ been made in the Circuit Court. It has been frequently held that an order overruling or sustaining a demurrer is not appealable. Such an order may be reviewed on • appeal taken from the judgment , or decree, but the order itself is not a final determination of the case and is not appealable: Weeks v. Snider, 107 Or. 138, 141 (214 Pac. 334).
The appeal is premature and must therefore be dismissed. Appeal Dismissed.
