What is the standard of review for a decision of a Master?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Smith v. Savard, 2008 CanLII 60715 (ON SCDC):
Given that the standard of review of a decision of a Master is the same as that of a judge, (see Zeitoun v. Economical Insurance Group [2008] 91 O.R. (Div. Ct.) at para. 26), we have little difficulty finding that the learned Master made no error of law, did not exercise his discretion improperly, nor made a palpable or overriding error in dismissing the Rule 59.06 motion.
