'Not in my court with those pants!' - Tamia Richards
Thompson was at the time making an appearance for a client when the Magistrate suddenly switched her focus from the case at hand to the attorney's garb.
After she made a comment that Thompson was not prepared for today's court session, Magistrate Richards asked, "What colour is your tie?"
Holding up the tie, attorney Thompson asked whether it is burgundy and not red and whether even burgundy was afoul of the court's dress code.
To this Magistrate Richards confirmed that the tie was offensive to the court.
Then she asked, "What colour are your pants?"
A bewildered Thompson looked at his lower garment and replied, "charcoal."
However, the Magistrate also read out the Riot Act for what appeared to be a pair of grey pants and told Thompson that they were a no no in her court.
She then said she doesn't know since when she has become the fashion police.

She is acting like she is god now?! Really a bit too important.
Out of all the many rules pertaining to British Court which the lawyers are aware of. Please review the following:
Avoid sneakers, trendy clothing, lots of jewellery, loud colours (especially red), revealing outfits, outrageous hairdos, and stained or damaged clothes. Do not wear a lot of perfume, cologne or aftershave. Wearing leather is not advisable.
Wear a suit, dress, or blouse and skirt if you are a woman. Do not wear spike heels, sandals or open-toed shoes. Wear a bra and pantyhose even if it kills you. Be sure your bra and slip are not showing.
Wear a suit, jacket and tie, or shirt and tie (only if you don't own a jacket) if you are a man. Never wear a hat.
nd she didnt say nuttin
Burgundy and charcoal are offensive?? Is it that she is so incompetent on matters of law that she must digress to being the fashion police?
@Really. Why don't you go in naked, you £$%e. There are standards man and all you guys got to do is just accept and aboide by them. Stop the Darm complaining and the negativity
Wow! This magistrate gone berrzerk??!!!
Lol, my my!!! This woman is hilarious, she needs to be a standup comedian not a judge.
In all my experience working for the magistrate Court this is a first.
These so call Lawyers just need some class in themselves. Well, respect for the code also.
Get the facts straight. The Chief Justice never stated that a lawyer, in the Magistrate Court, cannot wear charcoal pants and burgundy tie. This magistrate needs to start doing the work of the court and stop nit-picking.
Is she there to dispense justice or to act as a police orderly. Shame on this lady.
She needs to focus more on her decision making in the court....seriously
Is this woman married
Allyou had to bring up this born here crap into this? Nobody cares about if she’s born here or not, it has nothing to do with this, is that the only card all you can play?
Peaple are addressing the petty fights she picks in the court instead of dealing with important matters. So women cant focus with a charcoal pants in their sight? Or a burgundy tie? SMH I didn’t know women were so easily distraceted. So she will stop in mid sentence like “ in the case against Mr. .. ouu charcoal pants that riminds me I have to buy coals for the bbq I’m having this weekend,” STRUPS…
You are one of the most respected magistrates we have and Mr Thompson one of the most respected lawyers. You are both in the business of respecting the judicial system that allows for charged people to receive a fair trial or consideration of their actions. This is not about you - get over it.
SMH
much more important than the dispensation of justice or the fairness even remotely possible within that system.
It is most important that all the people here are made aware that their clothing matters much more than they do,
and that who or whatever is behind this is obviously some kind of nazi hiding out somewhere since the 1940's.
Cause this is plain ridiculous beyond belief. Good luck!
