A judge's final decision is appealed to the Court of Appeal. Because consent orders are made with everyone's agreement, they are almost impossible to appeal. Nevertheless, if an appeal can be made, it <span class="noglossary">will</span> be made to the Court of Appeal, just like a judge's final order.
 
It's worth noting that the Court of Appeal revised its procedures and changed its forms in July 2023. As a result, you will want to make sure that you're following the new procedures. If you're reading guides about the Court of Appeal process written before July 2023, which might talk about a special form for seeking leave to appeal (which is no longer applicable), you should stop and read up on the changes that were made. A good resource is the [https://perma.cc/AN3Q-7JFK New Court Forms, Completion Instructions and Templates] information page from the Court of Appeal itself.
