Although a stipulated judgment is generally not appealable, appeal is allowed when “consent was merely given to facilitate an appeal following adverse determination of a critical issue.” An “adverse determination” of “a critical issue” is not an affirmative requirement or limitation on the doctrine. The only limitation is that the judgment must dispose of all causes of action. The stipulated judgment here did not moot the appeal because the defendant agreed to pay an addition $1.75 million if it lost the appeal. However, the decision decries the doctrine and solicits Supreme Court review and limitation of its exception to the non-appealability of stipulated judgments.
