The processes are formal, but the dress can be informal to casual if you are a observer witness, jury member or a plantif/defender
You must respect the Court/Judge/Magistrate and the processes and obey any instructions offered.
If the Court is in session, you usualy bow (show respect) on entry and bow facing the Court on exit. Everyone usualy stands when the Judge enters or leaves.

A court is a formal place of Government Business . Better to go there decently dressed and be calm in your responses. Answer the questions truthfully and there is hardly any reason for you to fear. It is only the criminals who have to fear the court.

I've been in criminal court it was very formal, almost dramatic. at the other end small claims court is informal, almost like a comedy show. Believe me it's hard to remain serious.

Court is very formal, be direct and to the point, have all your paper work in order and speak clearly. You don't want to upset the judge in anyway.

It was not as formal as I thought although I wore a tie. I found that the court staff did their best to put me at ease. I think that they knew that I wasn't guilty.
The thing that really got up my nose was when the prosecutor apologised to the policemen for not getting me convicted. It didn't matter to them that I was innocent, just that they didn't get a conviction. That's cops for you
