The Master's dismissal of the summons to proceed was wrong: once the judge had made an order for an account and inquiry (17 October 1988) the Plaintiff, who had carriage of that order, was entitled to prosecute it; the Master's function was to give directions for carrying out the order and not to rehear or nullify it. The appeal is allowed, the Master's decision set aside, and specific directions and timelines are ordered (with an extension to 90 days to accommodate the pending appeal).
