Interpretation, translation and communication through an intermediary

Interpretation and translation for witnesses other than a person to whom proceedings relate

16A
  • (1) Where the complainant is due to attend a hearing as a witness, the registrar, where satisfied that the person needs interpretation, must appoint an interpreter to act at the hearing.
  • (2) The registrar may also appoint an interpreter for any other witness who is required to give evidence at a hearing, other than a person to whom proceedings relate.
  • (3) Before an interpreter begins to act at a hearing, an oath or affirmation must be administered to the interpreter.
  • (4) Before an interpreter is sworn or makes his affirmation, the interpreter’s name must be read out, and any party to the proceedings may object to the interpreter on any reasonable ground.
  • (5) If the court upholds any such objection, the interpreter shall not be sworn or make his affirmation, and the registrar must appoint another interpreter.
  • (6) On application or on its own initiative, the court may require a written translation of any document or part of a document to be provided for a complainant or other person (other than a person to whom proceedings relate) who attends a hearing as a witness and who needs interpretation.
  • (7) The registrar must record, by such means as the Lord Chancellor directs―
  • (a) the identity of any interpreter; and
  • (b) any decision on an application under paragraph (6).
