The appeal is dismissed because although the Master had not read the papers in sufficient detail and displayed impatience, his conduct did not demonstrate hostility or bias towards the 1st Plaintiff such that a reasonable informed observer would apprehend he could not fairly hear the summons; the Master acted within acceptable standards and need not recuse himself, and an acknowledged complaint to the Chief Judge does not itself require recusal.
