Invisible Counsel
The jealous regard the Supreme Court has for the proper robing of counsel received emphasis at New Plymouth, when Mr Justice Cornish invited waiting counsel into the courtroom wearing wig and gown were sitting at counsel’s table, having just appeared in miscellaneous matters. Others came into the room unrobed and it was when one of them suggested the formal adjournment of an appeal that his Honour referred to the traditions of the court. “It would be better that you should get someone else to make the request,” he suggested. “I can’t see you. I can hear you but I can’t see you.” The lawyer addressed apologised. “That is all right,” his Honour said. “I invited you to come forward.”
