They can make orders and take actions like a High Court Judge would. You need to know that there is one exception to this rule. The Associate Judge does not have the power to do some things that are listed in section 22(4). This means they cannot make certain decisions or take certain actions. The Associate Judge's powers are set out in the law to help them make decisions in court cases. They have to follow the rules and make fair decisions.
