A v B

The parties in this matter were A and B. The dispute concerned an application to extend time, and the court was the Court of Appeal of New South Wales. The appeal arose from an order of a Master, which had directed a new hearing before a single judge.

The central legal issues before the Court of Appeal were whether it was appropriate to grant an extension of time for the appeal, and whether, in the context of fresh evidence, the matter should be determined by a different Master.

The Court of Appeal ultimately dismissed the appeal. While the specific reasoning for this dismissal is not detailed in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court found no grounds to interfere with the lower court's decision or to grant the requested extension of time and direction for a different Master.

The appeal was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondent.
