unreviewable

Cannot be reconsidered

Unreviewable describes a decision or action that cannot be examined, challenged, or overturned by a higher authority.

The term appears most often in legal contexts, where certain rulings or executive actions are deemed beyond judicial scrutiny: The court held that the president's pardon power is unreviewable.

Something unreviewable is effectively final—there's no appeals process, no second opinion, no recourse.
