TUCKETT, Justice
(concurring in part and dissenting in part) :
I concur with the majority opinion upholding the right of the parties by agreement to waive their rights of appeal. It would seem to me that such agreement should be upheld on the grounds of public policy as encouraging litigants to accept the decisions of trial courts as being final.1 However, after concluding that the agreement not to appeal is binding, the decree of the district court should be a final determination of the litigation and should not be disturbed.

. In addition to cases cited in the majority opinion, see also: Wyrakowski v. Budds, 325 Mich. 199, 38 N.W.2d 313; Speeth v. Fields, Ohio App., 47 Ohio L. Abst. 47, 71 N.E.2d 149.
