The court held that r.22 contains a built-in power to extend the period for serving notice of appointment and r.16 authorizes the Taxing Master to grant extensions even after expiry; there is no inconsistency between r.16 and r.22 and trivial or excusable delay does not in itself wholly discharge an order for costs; therefore the Master had jurisdiction to grant a seven-day extension and the appeal is dismissed.
