The jurisdiction of the superior court shall be exclusive and its judgment shall be final, except that the judgment shall be subject to review by the supreme court on appeal by either party, irrespective of the nature of the judgment or the amount involved. The appeal shall be taken and prosecuted in the same manner and form and with the same effect as is provided in other cases of appeal to the supreme court. The certified record shall contain all that was before the superior court, and the order of the superior court shall for all purposes, including appeal to the supreme court, be deemed to be a final order in a special proceeding.
