An appeal may be made to the Court of Appeals. The special court shall certify the facts in the case to the Court of Appeals, and the evidence shall be considered as on appeal in proceedings under Chapter 2 of Title 25.1. If an appeal is taken from the judgment of the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court, in matters in which it grants the petition for appeal, shall consider the appeal consistent with the procedures set forth herein and shall enter such order as the special court should have entered. In any case, by consent of all parties of record, the motion to annex may be dismissed at any time before final judgment on appeal.
