17.5
Skipping the hearing before the master
This aspect of Proposal 31 has already been discussed above. It should be in the
discretion of the master whether to direct that the summons be placed directly before a
judge, giving substantial weight to any representations made by the parties in favour
of adopting that course. In exercising his discretion, the master should be entitled to
take into account any possible congestion in interlocutory appeals or hearings listed
before the judge in chambers.
