Evidence continues to stack up on the Court Delays website<\/a> about Capita Translation & Interpreting’s continuing failure to meet the terms of its courts and tribunals interpreting contract with the Ministry of Justice (posts passim<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n

This blog has previously highlighted Capita’s tactics to save its own skin when challenged; back in May it seemed to imply that the Clerk of Nottingham Crown Court was being untruthful when it failed to provide an interpreter for a murder case (posts passim<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n

That is, however, not an isolated case, as shown by the following comment posted on the Court Delays website by Tim Sapwell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One whole day of Court time wasted.<\/p>\n

\nDefendant in robbery trial not produced from custody. Then no Punjabi interpreter for witness. Capita claim on telephone to CPS<\/acronym> that no booking has been made. This is clearly not correct, because they later send an e-mail giving the exact details of the booking as the subject heading! They say they only have 2 Punjabi interpreters, one of whom is busy and the other cannot be found (!). It is suggested that the interpreter cannot attend before 12 noon the following day because he\/she is based 100 miles away. Options offered are that the interpreter could be available at \u201caround 12\u2033 the following day or else a possibility that another could be found who might be available for 10.15 am.<\/p>\n

Identity of defendant withheld \u2013 case not concluded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First Capita T&I tell an untruth to the Crown Prosecution Service and then contradict themselves: you couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried!<\/p>\n

As far as I can see, honesty and integrity are important qualities to possess for undertaking work in the courts. Capita T&I clearly has neither.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
