Court Judgement Translation
A judgment is translated for a specific purpose: enforcing an order, supporting a probate application, or evidencing a family court decision. The translation keeps the structure of the judgment, the orders made and the reasoning intact, and can be paginated to the bundle index when it is filed as an exhibit.
What the Translation Covers
-
Full Judgment: Parties, court, claim number, orders made and the reasoning, translated in full.
-
Court Details: Issuing court, jurisdiction, judges and dates exactly as recorded.
-
Statement of Truth: An additional certification layer when the document is filed with HMCTS.
-
Bundle Pagination: Translations paginated to match your bundle index where one exists.
