There are two kinds of judicial officials at the Supreme Court that hear applications and trials, ''masters'' and ''justices'', both of which we'll refer to as "judges" for convenience. Masters can deal with a wide variety of applications in Supreme Court Chambers.  They deal with mainly interim applications. Justices can also hear interim applications but also conduct trials and applications to change final orders.

Masters of the Supreme Court are addressed as "Your Honour." Justices are addressed as "My Lord" or "My Lady," or, if you want, as "Your Lordship" or "Your Ladyship."
