Mrs Agnieszka Collier (who is no relation of mine) has recently acted as an interpreter in two cases I heard at the Leeds Crown Court (R v Kasprzak and Borys and R v David Grabowski). In both cases she impressed me enormously as an interpreter We see many interpreters in the Crown Court, interpreting a variety of languages. She clearly had no difficulty in interpreting Polish to English and vice versa. She also did so simultaneously, which many of our interpreters are not so good at. In addition to her obvious skill as an interpreter she was always punctual in her attendance at court and the court staff found her easy to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending her for any position as an interpreter, particularly one in a legal context.
