The taxing master has no jurisdiction under Order 62 r26(2) to adjourn taxation proceedings where the effect is to grant a stay of execution pending appeal; even under the court's inherent jurisdiction adjournment can only be granted on good cause shown after balancing the successful party's right to immediate execution against the potential wasted costs, and the respondent failed to show good cause; accordingly Master Bharwaney's adjournment order of 22 January 2003 was set aside and taxation was re-fixed for 16-17 April 2003.
