The master's order that adjourned the resumption of taxation until after the Court of Appeal hearing (with liberty to apply earlier) was wrong because it functioned as a de facto stay depriving the plaintiffs of their costs award; the proper course is to fix the resumed taxation at the earliest possible date irrespective of the appeal, and such an order was set aside.
