British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Stevenson v. Smith, 2007 BCSC 2006 (CanLII):
The standard of review for a Master's decision is set out in Abermin Corporation v. Granges Exploration Ltd. (1990), 1990 CanLII 1352 (BC SC), 45 B.C.L.R. (2d) 188, at page 193: An appeal from a Master's order in a purely interlocutory matter should not be entertained unless the order was clearly wrong. However, where the ruling of the Master raises questions which are vital to the final issue in the case, or results in one of those final orders which a Master is permitted to make, a rehearing is the appropriate form of appeal.
