The Court held that the Master's decision to adjourn the taxation sine die pending resolution of the related High Court Action was a valid exercise of discretion because the outcome of the negligence claim could materially affect whether the costs were properly incurred and thus the taxation; accordingly the appellate court would not interfere and the appeal must be dismissed.
