DISPUTE BETWEEN JURISDICTIONS; APPEALS (§ 15.2-2140)

A. An appeal may be filed in the Court of Appeals by any party from the judgment
of the special court, and the appeal shall be heard and determined without
reference to the principles of demurrer to evidence. The special court shall
certify the facts in the case to the Court of Appeals, and the evidence shall be
considered as on appeal in proceedings under Chapter 2 (&#xA7; 25.1-200 et seq.)
of Title 25.1. In any case, by consent of all parties of record, a motion to
dismiss may be made at any time before final judgment on appeal.

B. If the judgment of the special court is reversed on appeal, or if the
judgment is modified, the Court of Appeals shall enter such order as the special
court should have entered.

C. If an appeal is taken from the judgment of the Court of Appeals, the Supreme
Court, in matters in which it grants the petition for appeal, shall consider the
appeal consistent with the procedures set forth in subsection A and shall enter
such order as the special court should have entered.
