Lawyers slam Government’s new court interpreting system

Comment

MoJ of all people should understand that people's human rights are paramount. ALS is not fit for purpose, as it doesn't appear to appreciate the professional nature of interpreters' work, especially regarding legal matters. It's not enough for someone to be fluent in a language. The knowledge of specialist vocabulary is vital. These interpreters are highly skilled professionals and their work conditions and pay should reflect this.
