'''His or Her Worship''' is an honorific prefix for [[mayor]]s, [[Justice of the Peace|Justices of the Peace]] and [[magistrate]]s in [[Commonwealth Realms]]. In spoken address, these officials are addressed as '''Your Worship''' or referred to as '''His or Her Worship'''; Australia is an exception and all States now use [[His Honour|Your Honour]] as the form of address for magistrates (the same as has always been used for judges in higher courts). |
