final decision

No more appeals

A final decision is a conclusion that settles a matter and won't be revisited.

The phrase emphasizes that deliberation has ended—no more debate, no appeals, no changing course: The committee's final decision is binding.

Often used to signal authority or closure: That's my final decision.
