Assessors

(1)
In any civil proceedings, the Court of First Instance may call to its aid one
                or more assessors specially qualified and may dispose of such proceedings, wholly or
                in part, with the aid of such assessor or assessors, but the decision of the judge
                shall be the decision of the Court of First Instance.
(2)
The Court of First Instance may determine the remuneration, if any, to be
                    paid to an assessor in respect of his
services:
Provided that nothing in this
                    subsection shall authorize the payment of remuneration to any person employed
                    full time in any office of emolument under the Crown.
