The appeal was dismissed because it was brought in the wrong forum (appeals from a District Court master must be heard by a District Court judge) and the attempted Notice of Discontinuance was ineffective for abandoning an appeal; the Court fixed the defendant's costs at $11,600 after reducing the claimed time, and ordered a further hearing to determine whether the Plaintiff's former solicitors should be ordered to pay those costs under Order 62 Rule 8 unless they agreed to pay by the stated date.
