Is it legal to take a camera into a courthouse, into a tribunal hearing and film your own court case proceedings?

Not interested in filming the audience, only the subjects and the judge and their conduct.

It is not a problem here in the DR
They encourage people to video tape all court proceedings for a permanent record!
Please let me know when, and where, you will be video taping, I want to see THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never heard of it. I know that in the US(NJ) it's not allowed.

I was all ready to go down until Frank said there was no more tickets, I ended up eating at a chicken place down the road on Las Americas. I'm not the kind of guy to go sit and watch others eating while I slaver away over a bag of peanuts. Maybe Xmas!

Interesting, and if a foreigner was refused an independent translator to the bench (or infact sent from the bench after previously being allowed in) that would be illegal, by the judge, and any rulings would be worthless, correct?

The court usually allows filming, except in special circumstances (Art. 309 of the Code of Penal Procedure).

As in the U.S., high-profile cases have been broadcasted live to the public; for example, the Baninter case.
