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.

“Judges can only be removed by top officials if they do something very bad or can't do their job properly.”
