Single judge

Dear Friends,

I wonder whether there is such an expression as 'single judge' in English. Dictionaries do not say a word about this term but I must translate:

Decision of the Single Judge of the Players' Status Sub-Committee



Thank you very much.

It seems to refer to English law, where they distinguish a panel of judges (multiple) from a single (one) judge in the appeals process. Here is an Australian example: Single judge – the judge who hears the appeal. When an appeal is filed from a decision of a federal magistrate, the Chief Justice of the Family Court will decide whether the jurisdiction of the appeal court is to be exercised by a single judge or three judges of the Full Court.
