The sole purpose of a certification of finality under Rule
4:42-2 is to permit execution on a partial summary judgment
fully adjudicating a separable claim for affirmative relief.
The appealability of an interlocutory order certified as final
is solely an ancillary consequence of such a certification.
Therefore, a litigant may not secure a certification of finality
from a trial court to circumvent this court's exclusive
authority to determine whether leave should be granted to appeal
an interlocutory order.
