When a court in an eminent domain proceeding rules on preliminary objections to a declaration of taking and is of the opinion that the matters involved are of immediate public importance, it shall, upon request of a party, so state in the order. If an appeal is taken from that order, the appellate court shall give priority to the determination of the issues raised by the appeal.
