Is a temporary judge entitled to the same authority as a sitting judge?

Unlike arbitrators and referees, "[t]emporary judges have broad powers substantially comparable to those of ... sitting judges." ( Hayward v. Superior Court (2016) 2 Cal.App.5th 10, 46, 206 Cal.Rptr.3d 102.) " [W]hen acting, " a temporary judge " is acting for the superior court, " and a temporary judge's " judgments and orders ... are entitled to the same presumption of regularity as a court with a regular judge presiding. " ( Estate of Kent (1936) 6 Cal.2d 154, 163, 57 P.2d 901 ; see

[66 Cal.App.5th 1054]
