Master's orders
=='''Master's orders'''==
Interim An interim orders made by masters in family law matters a ''master'' can be appealed as of right to a judge of the Supreme Court. Because the appeal is being heard at by a judge from the same level of court, you're not going to have to deal with Court of Appeal Rules and Court of Appeal forms.
===Steps===
Under Rule 22-7 of the Supreme Court Family Rules, an appeal from a masters decision is brought by filing a Notice of Appeal from Master, Registrar or Special Referee in Form F98 within 14 days of the date the order was made. This deadline applies to orders that the Master master made under the Supreme Court Family Rules or the ''Family Law Act''. If the Master master made orders under the ''Divorce Act'', you have to look at that legislation and section 21(3)of that Act, which says that an appeal must be made within 30 days.
The date the appeal <span class="noglossary">will</span> be heard is written on the Form 98 Notice of Appeal from Master, Registrar or Special Referee. It is a good idea to leave this part of the form blank until you've had a chance to talk to the court registry staff. Depending on how long your appeal <span class="noglossary">will</span> take to be heard and the court's schedule, they may want to select the date of the hearing for you.
