====Addressing the court====
Not too long ago, justices of the Court of Appeal were addressed as "My Lord" or "My Lady". This outdated convention has now changed, as it had throughout most of Canada before BC. Justices are to be referred to as "Chief Justice", "Justice", "Madam Justice", "Mr. Justice" or, collectively, as "Justices", according to the context.
The justices of the Court of Appeal are addressed as old terms "My Lady”, "My Lord", "Your Ladyship" or "My LadyYour Lordship" are now to be avoided. The BC Court of Appeal has over 15 judges," orand it also has a registrar, if you wantwho is another court official that hears select court matters. In a registrar's hearing, the registrar is addressed as "Your LordshipHonour" or "Your Ladyship."
