@ Conor Not the interpreter "at liberty" (let's hope there's no such thing as an interpreter hauled before the Court in custody) but the appellant; I can only presume the interpreter has been slipped in directly after the appellant because he/she is not fluent in French.

Samuël Buysschaert Aug 23, 2023:

Fwiw D'accord avec Emmanuella, cela dépend de la forme de rédaction utilisée, par exemple deux rédactions que j'ai caviardé de la cour d'appel de Montpellier et d'Agen, avec l'une d'entre elles qui se rapproche du contexte ici, sinon voir la réf de ph-b.

Emmanuella Aug 23, 2023:

Ce texte est mal rédigé. Il ne devrait pas y avoir de virgule entre Appelant et comparant.
Conor, le lien posté par ph-b est très clair. C'est l'appelant et non l'interprète qui comparaît ' libre'.

Conor McAuley Aug 23, 2023:

Only now... ...do I see the comma after "xxxx", but it still makes no sense to me to state that the interpreter is "unincarcerated", it's so dumb it's almost funny.

Emmanuella Aug 23, 2023:

@ Allegrotrans -
Appe[l]ant - one [l]
Cryptical form ? - I made it very clear , hence you changed your proposal (independant/sic). Thanks for trusting me.

@ ph-b
Merci pour confirmer mon interprétation avec ce message 'crypté...'

AllegroTrans Aug 23, 2023:

@ Conor I don't think this has anything to do with the interpreter, and that it means the appellant is "at liberty" i.e. not in custody. It would however be useful if the Asker could give us a little of the "story" - i.e. whether the appellant is pursuing a joint civil and criminal appeal, which seems likely to be the case here.
Asker?

appelant libre

Conor McAuley Aug 23, 2023:

I agree with "interprète libre" (compare to "traduction libre"/free translation)...but I've never heard of a free interpretation.

AllegroTrans Aug 22, 2023:

I also agree with Emmanuella's reading. It looks like there is a criminal element to this, even though it's a divorce case. Asker, perhaps you can give us more context?

AllegroTrans Aug 22, 2023:

Emmanuella! Instead of all these cryptic clues please go ahead and post an answer so that we can agree

Peter Shortall Aug 22, 2023:

I agree with Emmanuella's reading. "Libre" means the appellant is at liberty, as opposed to being in custody/prison.

Lisa Rosengard Aug 22, 2023:

In the reference below posted by Em .. "Sauf cas de force majeure, la connaissance effective par le prévenu appelant qui serait libre de la citation à comparaître." (Excepting cases of emergency or unforeseen circumstances, based on present knowledge, the appellant (the one who makes an appeal case to the High Court) is not obliged to attend in person.)

Emmanuella Aug 22, 2023:

Je pense qu'il faut lire : Appelant comparant ...libre

Steve Robbie Aug 22, 2023:

More in the sense of 'self-employed'; if the interpreter were an employee, the document would be expected to name the employer.

EirTranslations (asker) Aug 22, 2023:

I had thought of that as opposed to working in-house for the courts? Many thanks I don't think it's a layout issue

Steve Robbie Aug 22, 2023:

Perhaps I'm being naive, but couldn't it just be saying that the interpreter is an "interprète libre" (layout notwithstanding)?
