An order dismissing a statutory appeal to the Supreme Court from a tribunal decision refusing joinder and amendment is interlocutory for the purposes of s 101(2)(e) of the Supreme Court Act, because the nature of the relief refused is interlocutory — it does not finally determine the rights of the parties in the principal cause. Under s 101(2)(r), the monetary threshold is assessed by reference to the value of the matter at issue in the appeal, not the value of the underlying proceedings. Where competency is challenged, any application for leave to appeal should be filed before the competency hearing.
