Case Study: Direct Transcription of recorded evidence in Private Children Act Proceedings

Background 

In recent Private Children Act proceedings, IMD Translation played a pivotal role in securing a favourable outcome for our customer’s client. The case involved a father seeking a Child Arrangements Order for his child due to concerns about the mother’s abusive behaviour and excessive drinking. 

The Challenge 

The father had substantial video evidence documenting the mother’s behaviour; however, these recordings were in a language not understood by the court. The accuracy and reliability of the translated transcripts were crucial, as they formed the cornerstone of the father’s case. 

Our Solution 

Our team of expert legal linguists meticulously provided direct transcription of the recordings, ensuring every nuance and detail was accurately conveyed, maintaining the integrity of the evidence. This process involved: 

  • Precision: Ensuring that the direct transcriptions reflected the original content without any loss of meaning. 
  • Confidentiality: Handling sensitive information with the utmost care and discretion. 
  • Timeliness: Delivering within tight deadlines imposed by the court proceedings. 

The Outcome 

Thanks to the precise and reliable transcriptions, the court was able to fully understand the gravity of the situation. The transcriptions were instrumental in the court’s decision to grant the Child Arrangements Order, allowing the child to live with the father and thereby helping ensure the child’s safety and well-being. 

Conclusion 

Without our expert direct transcription services, facilitated by our amazing linguists, the father’s compelling evidence might not have been fully appreciated, potentially leading to a different outcome. Our work not only facilitated justice but also protected the welfare of a vulnerable child
