Saved by booking interpreters direct - again
Redacted report from a barrister:
29/5/13 Crown Court in Derby
Interpreter: Vietnamese
Booked through ALS
Case: R v Thang Vu
What happened:
ALS tasked to provide interpreter. None attended but we all waited all day for one to appear. ALS contacted several times by the court but no interpreter.
How bad: Bad - 2 in custody, case put off to next day.
Court booked their own interpreter and we got on the next day.
My comments:
The whole ALS concept is shameful
