Legal Definitions - master's report

A master's report is a formal report submitted by a master to a court. It usually contains a recommended decision in a case, along with findings of fact and conclusions of law.

For example, in a divorce case, a master may be appointed by the court to investigate and make recommendations on issues such as child custody, visitation, and support. The master will then submit a report to the court with their findings and recommendations.

Another example is in a civil lawsuit where the parties may agree to have a master appointed to help resolve the case. The master will conduct hearings, review evidence, and then submit a report to the court with their recommended decision.

The purpose of a master's report is to provide the court with an impartial and informed recommendation on how to resolve a case. The court may then adopt the master's recommendation or make their own decision based on the report and other evidence presented in the case.
