A master is a judge of the High Court's procedural division who, in the first instance, deals with all parts of an action, beginning with the action's initiation and continuing until it is ready to be tried by a judge of the trial division. There are ten total Masters in the High Court, including the Senior Master and nine masters from the King's Bench Division. The Chief Master and five other individuals serving as Chancery masters.

Rule 2.4 of the CPR Process stipulates that judges, masters, and district judges have the authority to perform any duty assigned to the court, unless a statute, another rule, or a practise directive states otherwise. The subjects over which masters and district judges do not have jurisdiction, or which they may only deal with under particular circumstances, are outlined in Practice Direction 2B (Allocation of cases to levels of the judiciary).
