1Opinion of the Court
WEBB, Justice.
We note at the outset that the orders allowing and denying the motions for summary judgment did not determine the case and are interlocutory. Waters v. Personnel, Inc., 294 N.C. 200, 240 S.E.2d 338 (1978). We elect to consider the merits of the appeal pursuant to our supervisory powers under Article IV, § 12(1) of the North Carolina Constitution. See Travco Hotels, Inc. v. Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc., 332 N.C. 288, 420 S.E.2d 426 (1992). Pursuant to this provision of our Constitution, we elect to treat the City’s appeal as a petition for certiorari which we now allow.
