澳大利亚高等法院给予法官对司法判决的诉讼豁免权。 Australian High Court grants judges immunity from lawsuits over judicial decisions.

澳大利亚高等法院裁定,不得以司法裁决起诉法官,给予联邦巡回法院法官Salvatore Vasta豁免权,使其免于在离婚案件中被错误地监禁的男子提起的诉讼。 The High Court of Australia has ruled that judges cannot be sued for their judicial decisions, granting immunity to Federal Circuit Court Judge Salvatore Vasta from a lawsuit by a man he wrongly jailed during a divorce case. Vasta最初被命令支付309,000美元的赔偿金,但高等法院的裁决推翻了这一点,声称所有法官,不论法院地位如何,都应享有同等程度的豁免权,以确保司法独立。 Vasta was initially ordered to pay $309,000 in compensation, but the High Court's decision overturns this, asserting that all judges, regardless of court status, should have the same level of immunity to ensure judicial independence. 法院承认,这可能使受害者得不到赔偿,建议他们可以通过立法计划寻求帮助。 The court acknowledged that this could leave victims without compensation, suggesting they might seek help through legislative schemes instead.
