Is a Master's decision not a final order, giving rise to a right of rehearing?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bai v Wang, 2019 BCSC 1594 (CanLII):
I disagree that the decision of the Master constitutes a final order which a master is entitled to make, giving rise to a right of rehearing. In this case, the Master made a purely interlocutory ruling with respect to the correct form of pleading to be utilized by a third party in making a counterclaim against a defendant. Accordingly, the standard of review to be applied is the “clearly wrong” standard: Ma v. Zhao, 2019 BCCA 248 at para. 10.
