The review is dismissed because the Master did not commit reviewable error: the Master’s remit was to tax the bill and not to re-open the Judge’s costs order, no discovery application was before the Master, the liquidator properly acted in a professional capacity and could recover costs on an indemnity basis, and the applicant’s procedural failure to give grounds in time further undermined the review; consequently costs are awarded to the 1st respondent on an indemnity basis.
