The Evolution of Translation Standards in Legal Practice
In recent years, the legal landscape has witnessed a significant shift in translation standards. This transformation can be attributed to Practice Direction 22 (PD 22) of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), a pivotal development that has profound implications for the accuracy and integrity of witness statements.
The Language of Truth
Paragraph 2.2 of PD 22 CPR unequivocally dictates that the statement of truth must be provided in the language of the witness statement. This straightforward requirement places a paramount emphasis on precision and attention to detail in translating every word and nuance of a witness statement.
Going the Extra Mile
But PD 22 CPR doesn't stop there. In Paragraph 2.4, it takes its commitment to precision even further, emphasizing that the statement of truth must be in the witness's own language. This groundbreaking requirement marks a pivotal shift in the approach to legal translations, ensuring the utmost integrity of the witness's statement.
The Role of PD 32 CPR
PD 32 CPR, as outlined in Paragraph 18.1, reinforces the need to draft the witness statement in the witness's own language and then translate it into English through a certified translation. This meticulous process leaves no room for error, as it recognizes the potential impact that even the slightest misinterpretation can have on a legal case.
