Key legal question
Whether the civil-law appeal against the order requiring an advance on costs was admissible
Extracted holding
Yes. The order was an independently appealable interim decision causing irreparable legal harm, and the statutory value threshold was met.
Extracted reasoning
A cost-advance order backed by the risk of non-entry can create a legal disadvantage not cured by a later favorable final judgment. In appraisal proceedings, the value in dispute is assessed from the defendant's perspective and exceeded the threshold.
