Disposition. The clerk shall mail notice of filing the report to all attorneys of record

Within ten days after mailing, unless the court enlarges the time, any party may file written objections to it. Application for action on said report, or objections, shall be heard on such notice as the court prescribes. The report shall have the same effect whether or not the reference was by consent; but where parties stipulate that the master’s findings shall be final, only questions of law arising upon the report shall thereafter be considered. The court shall accept the master’s findings of fact unless clearly erroneous; and may adopt, reject or modify the report wholly or in any part, or recommit it with instructions. [Report 1943; October 31, 1997, effective January 24, 1998; November 9, 2001, effective February 15, 2002]
