Judge highlights cost of interpreter as he adjourns case of Polish man charged with voyeurism
[…] At Antrim Magistrates' Court, sitting in Ballymena, where the defendant was assisted by a Polish language interpreter, the case was set to be adjourned to April 1 for a Preliminary Enquiry - the legal step to send the matter to the Crown Court.
District Judge Nigel Broderick asked if a four week adjournment was realistic "as the taxpayer has to pay for an interpreter every time the defendant comes to court" and instead the case was adjourned to April 15.
