Former Judges and Prothonotaries

Deputy Judges (section 10 of the Federal Courts Act)
Any judge or former judge of a superior, county or district court in Canada may, at the request of the Chief Justice made with the approval of the Governor in Council, act as a judge of the Court.

Supernumerary Judges (section 5.1 of the Federal Courts Act)
A judge of the Federal Court who has:

• attained the age of sixty-five years and has continued in judicial office for at least fifteen years; or
• attained the age of seventy years and has continued in judicial office for at least ten years.

Prothonotaries are appointed under the Federal Courts Act (s. 12). They are full judicial officers and exercise many of the powers and functions of Federal Court judges. Their authority includes mediation, case management, practice motions (including those that may result in a final disposition of the case, regardless of the amount in issue), as well as trials of actions in which up to $50,000 is claimed (see Rules 50, 382, and 383 to 387 of the Federal Courts Rules).
