Exercise of jurisdiction by Master
8AAA Exercise of jurisdiction by Master
For the purposes of the exercise of jurisdiction conferred on the Master by Rules of Court, this Act has effect, subject to this section, as if the court consisted of the Judges and the Master.
A person who is dissatisfied with a judgment of the Master made in the exercise of jurisdiction conferred by Rules of Court may appeal, as prescribed by the Rules of Court:
in the case of an interlocutory judgment—to the Court constituted by one Judge; and
in the case of any other judgment—to the Court constituted by not less than 3 Judges.
On an appeal under subsection (2), the Court:
shall have regard to the evidence given in the proceedings out of which the appeal arose; and
has power:
to draw inferences of fact; and
in its discretion, to receive further evidence, which evidence may be taken:
on affidavit;
by oral examination before the Court or a Judge; or
otherwise under section 41.
On an appeal under subsection (2), the Court may affirm, vary or set aside the judgment of the Master and may make such order as in all the circumstances it considers just.
