The import of this is to remove a provision that was allowing parties to choose their own interpreters. It is very dangerous to allow a litigant to come with his or her own interpreter. That means that the interpreter will be choosing how to translate that which fits into their suit. There are normal procedures for obtaining an interpreter who is independent of the litigants according to the court rules.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have a further amendment to this clause.
view
17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly:
I beg to move:- THAT, clause 26 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (3) by deleting the word “had” appearing immediately after the words “on the claim” and substituting therefor the word “has”; (b) in sub-clause (5) by deleting the expression “, (3) or (4)” appearing immediately after the expression “(1), (2)” and substituting therefor the expression “or (3)”. We are seeking to correct grammatical errors contained in that Clause which is using past tense instead of present tense. We are also seeking to correct references to sub-clauses within the Clause itself.
