According to Wikipedia, Justitiarius (av latin, rettferdighet) er tittelen på formannen i Høyesterett.
Tidligere ble formannen i byrettene titulert byrettsjustitiarius, men siden 2002 er tittelen her bestemt til å være sorenskriver, på samme måte som det var i herredsrettene.
That means that a better term since 2002 would be:
President of the Court,
Circuit Judge or
District Stipendiary Magistrate
byrett = city court

: And City Court is the expression that Chaffey uses in his Norwegian English Legal Dictionary. County Court would not actually be correct.

Chief Judge of the City Court
"City court" is indeed correct -- see the link below to a judgment from EFTA as an example. "Chief Justice" is used these days primarily for appellate judges, not judges at lower level courts.

I found an official translation of "justitiarius" of the byrett as "judge president." See page 23 (in the original) at http://www.hamline.edu/law/registrar/pages/syllabi/summer200...
Jeffrey deserves the credit here for pointing toward "president."

President (E&W: Senior Master) of the City Of Oslo Court
I've used the Chief Justice translation before now, though am doubtful that there can be a (Lord) Chief Justice of a first-instance court - rather a President, Senior Registrar or Master. There is no reason why the QBD the High Court - at the Royal Courts of Justice in London - can't act as a first-instance court in arbitration. In fact, its Court of Construction does.
I don't know whether Patrick Chaffey is Scottish or American and is aware of the E&W County Court Registrar vs. High Court Master collocations.

Discussion
Byretten is the court of first instance, which in the UK would be the Magistrate's Court or the County Court, depending on the nature of the case. County Courts, which have a judge presiding, usually without the assistance of a jury, try solely civil cases. Magistrate's Courts try minor criminal cases, with lay magistrates or district judges presiding, but without juries.
Byretten, which Chaffey defines as the City Court to differentiate it from herredsretten in country districts, which he defines as the District Court, tries both civil and criminal cases.
