1. ““I. Whether, in light of the wording of Article IV, § 22 of the Maryland Constitution, the Court of Special Appeals had jurisdiction to entertain and decide the merits of the appeal from the court en banc, and, in this connection, whether the notation in Estep v. Estep, 285 Md. 416 , 420-421 n. 4, 404 A.2d 1040 , 1042-1043 n. 4 (1979), is erroneous. “II. With regard to the ruling on the motion for a new trial, and if the Court of Special Appeals had jurisdiction to decide the merits of the appeal from the court en banc, whether the Court of Special Appeals should review the circuit judge’s decision for abuse of discretion, or should review solely the determination by the court en banc.””
