“"`"[J]urisdictional matters are of such magnitude that we take notice of them at any time and do so even ex mero motu.'" Wallace v. Tee Jays Mfg. Co. , 689 So.2d 210 , 211 (Ala.Civ.App. 1997) (quoting Nunn v. Baker , 518 So.2d 711 , 712 (Ala. 1987)). The question whether a judgment is final is a jurisdictional question. The reviewing court, on a determination that the judgment is not final, has a duty to dismiss the appeal; if the appellee has not moved for a dismissal, then the court should dismiss the appeal on its own motion."”
