Ky. Sup. Ct. Order 2024-40 § 7
Master Commissioner's Report in Special Proceedings
(1) Contents and filing of reporting in special proceedings or other mandated
referrals.
The master commissioner shall prepare a report to the court upon the matters
submitted by the order of reference or local rules of court and shall file the
report and sufficient copies for all parties with the circuit court clerk. The clerk
shall forthwith serve the report and notice of the filing upon all parties. A
transcript of reported proceedings may be ordered by any party at that party's
expense. If special proceedings or other mandated referrals are recorded on
video, the untranscribed video recording shall constitute the official record.
(2) Action on report in special proceedings.
In special proceedings, within 10 days after being served with the notice of the
filing of the report any party may serve written objections thereto upon the
other parties. Application to the court for action upon the report and upon
objections thereto shall be by motion and upon notice as prescribed in CR
6.04. The court after hearing may adopt the report, modify it, reject it in whole
or in part, receive further evidence, or recommit it with instructions.
(3) Stipulation as to findings in special proceedings.
The effect of a master commissioner's report is the same whether or not the
parties have consented to the order of reference, but, when the parties stipulate
that a master commissioner's report shall be final, only questions of law arising
upon the report shall thereafter be considered.
(4) Draft report of special proceedings.
Before filing the report, a master commissioner may submit a draft thereof to
counsel for all parties for the purpose of receiving their comments.
(5) Report as security in special proceedings.
The master commissioner shall not retain the report as security for
compensation. If the party ordered to pay the compensation does not pay it
after notice and within the time prescribed by the court, the master
commissioner is entitled to a writ of execution.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
