The appellant appealed a Master's procedural order concerning late delivery of an affidavit of documents and related case management directions, including a substantial indemnity costs award and dispensing with approval of the draft order.
The court emphasized the high level of appellate deference owed to discretionary procedural decisions made by Masters.
It held that brief endorsements can suffice as reasons in procedural case management contexts and that no palpable and overriding error had been demonstrated.
The appellant had not sought leave to appeal the level of costs under the Courts of Justice Act.
The appeal was therefore dismissed.
