I apparently will have to write a letter to a judge in the next couple of days and I'm not entirely sure how I address the judge in the letter. Currently my consultant is wondering if she should write 'dear your honour' which doesn't sound so good to me but I'm not sure :-/
I saw something that suggested 'to the honourable <insert name> but that was on an american website so wasn't sure that applied over here.
Does anyone know for sure please? The judge in question would have been presiding over a case in which the children are in care so I guess that's family court.
" * "His Honour Judge Jones" for a Circuit Judge
* "District Judge (Magistrates' Courts) Jones for a District Judge (Magistrates Court)
* "District Judge Jones" for a District Judge"
When I googled her, she seems to be a 'her honour' judge so guess I'll go with that... Personally I'd be happy with 'oi missus, what ya playing at?' (Kind of pre-empting why my doc wants to write to a judge.... I'm not even going to suggest that writing to a judge might not be entirely sensible).
