When the court has scheduled a matter requiring an interpreter, parties are required to notify the court if the matter settles or is otherwise to be postponed so that the court does not incur interpreter fees unnecessarily. If a party fails to so notify the court, that party may be assessed the cost of the interpreter.
Pursuant to Administrative Directive No. 3-04, promulgated March 22, 2004, all vicinages will begin enforcing the assessment of interpreter fees to attorney or self-represented parties when unnecessary interpreting costs are incurred by the court. Matters involving self-represented parties will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account whether they were clearly made aware in advance of the obligation to notify the court of cancellations and considering their ability to pay.
