Can a temporary judge order a money judgment or prejudgment interest?

Even though the stipulations do not expressly call for a money judgment or prejudgment interest, a temporary judge may go beyond the express wording of the stipulation creating him and has the power to act until final determination of the proceeding, resolving issues that are direct progeny of the cause assigned to him or her for resolution. (Gridley v. Gridley (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 1562, 1582, 83 Cal.Rptr.3d 715.) Direct progeny are those which are a continuation of the stipulated cause or question its finality.... (Id. at p. 1583, 83 Cal.Rptr.3d 715.)
