WINTERSHEIMER, Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent because I believe the Court of Appeals correctly held that CR 52.03 does not apply to enlarge the time to file exceptions to a commissioner’s report.
The civil rules provide a specific mechanism to challenge the commissioner’s report which is CR 53.06(2). Specific provisions take precedence over general provisions. Cf. Williams v. Commonwealth, Ky.App., 829 S.W.2d 942 (1992).
Therefore, the Court of Appeals correctly held that Eiland failed to preserve her issues by timely filing exceptions to the commissioner’s report as required by CR 53.06(2).
The Court of Appeals and the trial court should be affirmed.
