162a56e6_omplaints_against_interpreters__Outcome
[Date] 01/06 [Summary of complaint] Interpreter for petitioner (who was also a relative of petitioner) filed a complaint against interpreter for allegedly trying to dissuade party from filing petition during a private conversation held prior to harassment injunction hearing; and for trying to influence testimony of petitioner by using hand gestures. [Relevant rule(s)] SCR 63.07 Scope of Practice; SCR 63.03 Impartiality and Conflict of Interest [Outcome] 
No significant ethical breaches had been committed by interpreter but more likely a misunderstanding. Interpreter should be mindful of conversing with parties without a third party present and for using hand gestures to indicate “slow down” during interpretation. Motivation for filing complaint was also questioned since it was interpreter against interpreter.
