When you appear before a magistrates court, how should you address the magistrates? Is it your honour? Or if it is just sir for a man, what is it for a woman?

You should say 'Your Worship' for the first time you address the magistrate, and 'Sir' or 'Madam' thereafter.

With either gender, you would address the presiding magistrate as Your Honor. This is the custom in the USA.

The correct term for a man is sir and the correct term for a woman is madam I believe.

Here, in the UK, the CORRECT way, in which you should address a Magistrate, - of EITHER gender, is, - I believe, - as "YOUR WORSHIP"!

In the U K it is "Your Worship" for either a man or a woman.

I used to go to court regularly when I worked, it's your worship(s) for man or woman.

Depends if your'e bothered about the punishment. If I was unfairly treated, I can think of a few choice words I'd call him?her/them.
