Rule 21 Procedure Before Master

Part I. Registration in the Land Court Proper

When the master has prepared a draft copy of his report, he shall notify the parties or their attorneys of the time and place, when and where they may attend to hear the same, and suggest such alterations, if any, as they may think proper; upon consideration whereof, the master will finally settle the draft of his report, and give notice thereof to the parties or their attorneys, whereupon, after examining the same, or being furnished with a copy thereof, if they so request, and pay the usual fees therefor, five days shall be allowed for bringing in written objections thereto, which objections, if any, shall be appended to the report. No exception to a master's report will be allowed without a special order of the court unless founded upon an objection made before the master, and shown by his report, and unless filed with the registrar within fourteen days from the filing of the report. Notice of the filing of a master's report shall be forthwith sent by the registrar to each party or his attorney.
