Still it can be appealed depending on what is the caseIn sri lanka there are 4 types of high courts (the name is Provincial High Court in terms of Article 154p of Constitution)-appeal Court of Appeal1. High Court of Sri Lanka - this is a remnant of old provision till 1990 - Admiralty Cases only in Colombo(this is special jurisdiction )- Appeal to SC with leave 2. Commercial High Court - again special jurisdiction relating to Commercial Mattters eg Copyright, Trademarks, Company Law etc3. Provincial High Court of (eg Western, Sothern, etc) may be situated in Kalutara, Pandora, etc but all belong to Western Province High Court- They have criminal jurisdiction eg Murder, rape, fraud , etc  no civil jurisdiction but they have appellate power from Magistrate's court- Appeal to Court of Appeal4. Provincial Civil Appeal Courts (presided by two judges) this is a creation 2006 which allowed all District Court decisions to be appealed to this Provincial Civil Appeal Courts - This court only hears appeals and the appeal is to Supreme Court if Supreme Court grants leave for such an Appeal.In short all decisions can be appealed except Supreme Court decisions.</blockquote>
