In the State of Victoria, Coroner and Magistrates do not wear robes in court, in which the main intention behind this is to maintain a fair and unbiased hearing where:
(a) there is less formality, and;
(b) hearing are less formal.
If a Coroner or Magistrate wanted to, are they able to wear their silk gown in Court? I know it would be unusual but is it strictly not allowed?
