As amended through November 12, 2024
Rule 610 - Petitions for Review of Non-appealable Orders or Decisions(a) When Available. An aggrieved party, including the state of Alaska, may petition the superior court to review any order or decision not appealable under Rule 602 of a district court or of an administrative agency in a proceeding in which the superior court has appellate jurisdiction. (b) When Granted. Review is not a matter of right, but will be granted only when the sound policy behind the general rule of requiring appeals to be taken only from final judgments is outweighed because;(1) Postponement of review until appeal may be taken from a final judgment will result in injustice because of impairment of a legal right or because of unnecessary delay, expense, hardship or other related factors;(2) The order or decision involves a controlling question of law on which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion, and an immediate review of the order may materially advance the termination of the proceeding in the other forum; or(3) The district court so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or the administrative agency has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of administrative adjudication, as to call for the superior court's power of supervision and review.SCO 439 effective 11/15/1980; as amended by SCO 1015 effective 1/15/1990
