Nev. R. Civ. P. 53
Advisory Committee Note 2019 Amendment
The amendments retain much of the former NRCP 53 and incorporate provisions from FRCP 53. Rule 53(h) clarifies the procedure for establishing standing masters.
Drafter's Note
2004 Amendment
Subdivision (a)(1) is amended to add "assessor" to the definition of the word "master." The amendment conforms to the federal rule as it existed before the December 1, 2003, amendment to the federal rule. The provisions in subdivision (a)(2), regarding the grounds for objecting to a master's appointment, are retained.
Subdivision (c) is amended to include a reference to evidence statutes in addition to the existing reference to Rule 43(c).
The amendments to subdivision (d) are technical.
Subdivision (e)(1) is amended to provide that the master must serve a copy of his or her report on each party unless the referring court directs otherwise. The amendment conforms to the 1991 amendment to the federal rule, which is now reflected in subdivision (f) of the federal rule, as amended effective December 1, 2003.
