Dear Victoria,
Thank you for your response.
I believe my colleague Samantha sent a quote at criminal London LAA rates.
( £29 / hour minimum 3 hours ) for the booking on the 10th of April.
I understand, I will keep a note on the booking request for the 9th of April and will wait until instructed from yourself to either cancel or go ahead with the booking.
Please let me know if I can assist with anything else.
Kind Regards,
Anisha Iqbal

Can you confirm the fee quote for the 10th April again for me please?
I will have to revert back regarding the 9th as the fees are higher than usually expected and we may seek assistance elsewhere- therefore I will not confirm 9th April for the time being.
Kind regards
Victoria

Dear Victoria,
I am just chasing this request again.
As previously stated:
There is an interpreter available remotely within legal aid rates at 3pm on the day
All other interpreters exceed the legal aid rates.
The interpreter you have booked in for another prison visit said she would be available any other day if the booking was changed, however would not be able to assist, specifically on the 9th of April. (Mershid
Tahmasebi at LAA rates).
Please let me know how you would like to proceed and whether you want me to source an interpreter outside the rates.
Kind Regards,

Good afternoon
Would you have a Farsi interpreter who can attend Wandsworth prison alongside myself for 2 hours between 1.30pm-3.30pm on 9th April 2024? This would be to assist with a legal visit and to take the client’s instructions on evidence
in his case.
