What is the standard of review for a Master's Order?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Gillespie v. Pompeo, 2013 BCSC 843 (CanLII):

The standard of review is whether the Master’s order can be said to be “clearly wrong”, unless the order is vital to a final issue in the case or is a decision on a point of law, in which case the review is by way of a rehearing, unfettered by any deference to the order under appeal: Stoneman v. Desjardins, 2004 BCSC 57 at para. 7.
