→Master's orders
Under Rule 22-7, an appeal is brought by filing a Notice of Appeal in Form F98 within 14 days of the date the order was made. This deadline applies to orders made under the Supreme Court Family Rules or the ''Family Law Act''; the appeals of orders made under the ''Divorce Act'' are governed by that act, and s. 21(3) says that an appeal must be made within 30 days.
The date the appeal <span class="noglossary">will</span> be heard on is written on the Notice of Appeal. 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.
It's important to know that filing a Notice of Appeal does not, on its own, operate to cancel the order pending the appeal. You can, if you want, apply to master who made the order for an an order that order <span class="noglossary">will</span> be ''suspended'' until the appeal is heard.
