Rule 32. Jurisdictional Issues
Any party may raise a jurisdictional issue and request a trial thereon in advance of a trial on the merits, subject to the discretion of the Court. A finding by the Workers' Compensation Court that it has jurisdiction does not finally determine the rights of the parties, and is not an appealable order. Hermetics Switch, Inc. v. Sales, 1982 OK 12, 640 P.2d 963. A finding by the Workers' Compensation Court that denies jurisdiction is an appealable order, subject to de novo review by the Supreme Court. Garrison v. Bechtel Corporation, 1995 OK 2, 889 P.2d 273.
