A : Daniel ALEXANDER Judge said there are no specific rules for international trials in the U.K. This is because historically many of the business transactions heard by British courts have been conducted in English the most widely spoken business language in many countries.
In cases of implicated a foreign concerned party courts usually allow witnesses to give evidence in the foreign partys native language. However the parties must prepare a simultaneous interpretation and translation of major court documents and oral evidence. In circumstances of the most general languages it can be readily available to hire an interpreters and they take oath just like witnesses do.
In fact notwithstanding the absence of special facilities for trial hearings in languages other than English. British courts have been used very repeatedly in disputes involving litigants who speak a language other than English. In the domain of patents most of the affairs heard in British courts in recent years have mainly involved one party who does not make business in English.
