What is the appeal from an order made by the Local Master at Moose Jaw on an application for security for costs?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lock v. Snyder, 1912 CanLII 183 (SK CA):
BROWN, J.:—This is an appeal from an order made by the Local Master at Moose Jaw on an application for security for costs. By his order the Local Master dismissed the application of the defendant, and ordered the plaintiff to pay the costs; and the plaintiff appeals, claiming that the Local Master was wrong in ordering him to pay the costs. It is objected on behalf of the respondents that the question of costs is in the discretion of the Local Master, and that by virtue of Rule 646 there is no appeal except by leave. No leave was obtained in this case. The appeal is taken under Rule 622, and it has been held under a similar English rule, with which holding I agree, that no leave is required: Foster v. Edwards, 48 L.J.Q.B. 767. The order as to costs is within the power of the Local Master (Rule 620), and it is discretionary with him (Rule 709).
