British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Critchley v. McDiarmid, 2009 BCSC 134 (CanLII):
An appeal from an order of a Master on a purely interlocutory matter should not be entertained unless the order was clearly wrong except where the ruling raises questions which are vital to the final issue in the case or result in one of the final orders which a Master is permitted to make at which time a re-hearing is the appropriate form of appeal: Abermin Corporation v. Granges Exploration Ltd. (1990), 1990 CanLII 1352 (BC SC), 45 B.C.L.R. (2d) 188 (B.C.S.C.) at p. 193.
