How have courts treated interlocutory appeals in the context of litigation?

¹⁷ These policies are based on the premise that piecemeal disposition and multiple appeals tend to be oppressive and costly: e.g., rather than ending litigation, interlocutory appeals tend to result in a multiplicity of appeals; early resort to the appellate court may produce uncertainty, or at a minimum delay and potential futility, in the trial court; the trial court may change a ruling or make a different ruling that obviates an interlocutory appeal; later actions by the trial court provide a more complete record that may affect the appearance of earlier error or establish its harmlessness; and a full adjudication by the trial court will assist the reviewing court to remedy existing error by allowing for more specific directions on remand. (Kinoshita v. Horio (1986) 186 Cal.App.3d 959, 966, 231 Cal.Rptr. 241.)
