Sec. 1201.91  Explanation.

    An interlocutory appeal is an appeal to the Board of a ruling made 
by a judge during a proceeding. The judge may permit the appeal if he or 
she determines that the issue presented in it is of such importance to 
the proceeding that it requires the Board's immediate attention. Either 
party may make a motion for certification of an interlocutory appeal. In 
addition, the judge, on his or her own motion, may certify an 
interlocutory appeal to the Board. If the appeal is certified, the Board 
will decide the issue and the judge will act in accordance with the 
Board's decision.
