When you are an acting Judge, you have the same authority as a regular Judge in the court you are working in. You get to make decisions and have the same protections as a regular Judge. This applies to acting Associate Judges in the High Court as well, who have the same authority as regular Associate Judges. You have the same powers and privileges as a regular Judge or Associate Judge. This means you can do the same job and make the same decisions. You are also protected in the same way as a regular Judge or Associate Judge. You can find more information about this by looking at the relevant laws and other related laws and laws from 2003.
