It's different in the U.S. Several jobs carry the title "Honorable." If it is a judge, for example you could say "Judge Smith," or "Mr. Smith." Same with senators and representatives, governors, etc. When you want something from them you note their position, otherwise you say Mr. or Ms. or whatever. If you know them well and among groups of their friends, it is best to use their first name. However, if the person is with you and among a group of your friends that s/he does not share a close relationship with, you use the more noteworthy title.

Honourable is a courtesy title given to the son or daughter of a titled person. If they do not have a title of their own, they are addressed as;
The Hon Mr
The Hon Mrs
The Hon Ms
After initial introductions are made they are plain Mr - Mrs - Ms,

If it is a title bestowed on someone who is the son or younger brother of an aristocrat (or the wife of such a person), then there is no need whatsoever to treat them differently from the rest of mankind. You write "The Honourable Peter Bloggs" (no "Mr" is needed) when addressing a letter to them, but to their face it would simply be: "Mr Bloggs" or, if you know him well, "Peter".
If you are referring to a High Court Judge known formally as "The Honourable Mr Justice Bloggs" or even "The Honourable Sir Peter Bloggs", while that would be the style of addressing letters to him it is perfectly acceptable to address him as "Judge", except when appearing in court before him, in which case he would be addressed as "My Lord".

Use their full title (eg your honour ) the first time and then for easier conversation try Sir/Mam thereafter.

Why should anyone be called Honourable in the first place?

The title "Honourable" is used in the courts of law to address a high court judge with the title HHJ whatever. The HHJ stands for His (or Her) Hounor Judge. You address them as "your honour" "my Lord (milud)" "judge" or less formally "sir/madam". You should never call a HHJ sir or madam if you are in court

Your Honour or Milud

call him or her "your honour". it's a very formal title. I'm pretty sure it's mostly judges who get this title. use the formal way of addressing the judge when you're in the courtroom. it will go a long way in your favor.
