A declaratory order is a final order, not an interlocutory order, because it operates in law as res judicata or issue estoppel and binds the parties.
Ross JJ
In the ACT, an appeal from a Master's refusal to make a declaratory order lies to a single judge under s 9(2)(a) of the Supreme Court Act 1933 (ACT), not to the Court of Appeal under s 37E(2)(a)(i), because such a refusal is an interlocutory order. The distinction between making a declaration (final) and refusing a declaration (interlocutory) is confirmed.
