Tariff of fees for the recording and transcription of depositions of witnesses

APSOQ has obtained a legal opinion as to what fees may be required by a court reporter when reporting in two languages. According to this legal opinion and as provided for in Article 9 of the Tariff of fees for the recording and transcription of depositions of witnesses, nothing prevents a court reporter and his client from making a particular agreement concerning bilingual reporting fees but such remuneration must not be demanded but must be the result of a contractual agreement. Furthermore, the court reporter must advise his client that fees exceeding those provided for in the Tariff cannot be taxed against the opposing party.
