What is the duty of the court on a motion where the Master's findings are challenged?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Walker v. Walker, 1995 CanLII 16201 (MB QB):
I think the most concise summary of the duty of the court on such cases can be found in Thompson v. Hermon (1988), 65 O.R.(2d) 538 (H.C.). Smith, J., was con sidering a motion similar to this and said at p. 541: "For the purposes of the motion before me, it is necessary only that I express the broad proposition that in the ordinary case the Master's findings where they are made within the parameters of the order referring will not easily be interfered with if there is evidence to support them."
