203: Judges to have immunities of High Court Judges
"Judges are protected from getting in trouble for doing their job, just like important judges in bigger courts."
If you're a Judge of the Employment Court, you have special protections. These protections are the same as the ones that High Court Judges have. This means you can't be sued or held responsible for things you do as part of your job as a Judge. These protections help you do your job without worrying about getting in trouble for your decisions.
