Court frustration over missing interpreters - peterboroughtoday.co.uk reports
A CITY judge has spoken of his “frustration” after he was forced to adjourn two cases because no interpreters were available.
District Judge Ken Sheraton said he was unable to go ahead with two cases yesterday after interpreters failed to turn up despite requests from Peterborough Magistrates’ Court to book them for the hearings.
Their absence is being attributed to cuts to their pay, which were introduced on February 1 and were agreed in a deal between Applied Language Solutions and the Ministry of Justice.
