(1)  Subject to the Rules of Court , any order or decision made or given by the Associate Judge sitting in chambers or in court in the exercise of a power conferred on him or her by this Act is as valid and binding on, and is enforceable in the same manner against, all parties concerned as an order or decision made or given by a judge sitting in chambers or in court.

(2)  A party affected by an order or decision of the Associate Judge may, within such time as is prescribed by the Rules of Court and subject to any conditions so prescribed, appeal –

(a) from an interlocutory order or decision, to a judge sitting in chambers or in court; or

(b) from any other judgment, order or decision, to the Full Court.

(3)  The Associate Judge constitutes the Court for the purpose of the exercise of his or her powers and an appeal from a decision or order of the Associate Judge, whether given in court or in chambers, is to be an appeal by way of rehearing.

(4)  On the hearing of an appeal from a decision or order of the Associate Judge, whether given in court or in chambers, a judge sitting alone, whether in court or in chambers, has the same jurisdiction and powers as the Full Court has in hearing an appeal against a decision or order of a judge.
