Practice – Pre-trial or post-judgment relief. The claimant sought to appeal a refusal to allow an amendment of certain particulars of claim. The grounds of the appeal were that the master had failed to give adequate reasons for his decision such that neither the parties nor the court was in a position to ascertain why the master had reached the decision which he had done.
