It's supposed to be an informal court with plain English so I doubt he cares providing you are respectful.
You'd be surprised. Some of the circuit Judges have sensitive egos and massively prejudiced.There is no such thing as an "open court Judge".
As I said earlier, the case will be heard by a Circuit Judge or District Judge and both should be addressed as either "Sir" or "Judge".
Posting just for updates. I'm interested to see how one of these cases concludes.
OP, please do not bugger off/delete the thread etc before conclusion, like the guy in a parallel case with a Range with a busted gearbox. It reflected badly on him IMO, and probably wound anyone contributing to the thread right up.

Wondered what happened to that, it was deleted?OP, please do not bugger off/delete the thread etc before conclusion, like the guy in a parallel case with a Range with a busted gearbox. It reflected badly on him IMO, and probably wound anyone contributing to the thread right up.

often good to give a time line of "undisputed" events - its a good way of helping lead the court down a direction you hope to go or to get them to think along the same lines as your defence by using the same key words.
When I used to work as a solicitor we would always try and do this and had both the other sie and judge using our time line of "undisputed" facts which naturally gently highlighted and backed up our defence. Make it easy for the judge to understand the time and order of events. it all helps you.
ie
05.1.2017 Car serviced and MOT
10.1.2017 Advert for car published Cat D £2100 13 years old 134000 miles.
11.1.2017 Mr x called to book a viewing
13.1.2017 Mr x viewed car, inspected, test drove and paid deposit
15.1.2017 Mr x paid balance for car and collected at 1pm
11.2.2017 Mrs Y contacted me
15.2.2017 Court papers issues by Mrs Y
18.2.2017 Defence put in that car not sold to Mrs Y

Just read this and can't believe this is for real! The buyer is trying to sue you, because the 13 year old, CAT D, 134k miler, £2100 car isn't in great shape. 
Surely the buyer's claim is that the car isn't in the shape the seller said it was in. That is very different from suing because its not in great shape. Having said this, if the court doesn't tell the buyer to Foxtrot Oscar then i will be disappointed.
