What happens if a trial judge does not express a determination regarding just reason for delay?

In situations where a trial judge does not express a determination regarding just reason for delay, the order is indeed considered non-appealable. This principle arises from procedural rules that govern how courts handle various matters, including delays in proceedings. If the trial judge fails to provide an express reason, the party affected by the order cannot challenge it through appeal, as there is no final judgment or ruling to contest.

Essentially, without an articulated rationale from the judge, there is no clear basis for an appeal, leaving the order in limbo. This approach emphasizes the importance of clarity and definitive rulings by judges, as the absence of such a determination prevents parties from seeking appellate review and can hinder the ability to address or rectify potential issues related to delays.
