Sentencing of driver responsible for man's death
postponed as translator fails to attend hearing
The sentencing of a driver responsible for the death
of a motorcyclist has been postponed - because a translator arranged for him
did not show up to court.
[…]
On November 28, Liow
pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at Norwich Crown Court and
was due to learn his fate in the same court on Thursday.
However, after an
"administrative error" on the part of the company responsible for
providing the court with an interpreter in Mandarin meant one was not provided,
the hearing was postponed.
"The translation
service has admitted it made an administrative error and as a result no
interpreter has shown up today," Liow's solicitor told the court.
