    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV10/2010

    Registrar refused to and could not compel respondent to consent to admission of uncertified translations and therefore issued procedural directions: appellants must supply the translations by 26 August 2010; respondent must confirm within 7 days of receipt whether it agrees to admit the translations without certification and, if only partial agreement, must specify agreed parts and place non‑agreed parts in a separate bundle; costs in the cause. These directions balance the parties' procedural rights while recognizing the Court of Appeal's discretion to refuse uncertified translations.
