English to be heard in German commercial courts
The English language is widely recognised as the most dominant language in business around the world. There isn’t any disputing that other languages around the world are growing influences, most notably Chinese, Spanish and Arabic. Nevertheless it is hard to imagine English ever being replaced as the most widely used commercial language.
Due to the thorough use of English around the world it is additionally an essential language for legal systems. So much so that in one area of Germany commercial law cases which are also referred to as business law, are to be carried out in English.
In the German region of North Rhine Westphalia they have announced that they’ll use English in commercial court cases, which is targeted to attract more international business litigation to the country.
When originally thought out, oral submissions and written statements would be carried out in English and without necessity for English translators
A draft bill, currently in discussion, suggests that written submissions and verdicts would also be dealt with in English, which increases the extent of the proposal.
However the main concern for these plans would be that the degree of English between judges could vary and possibly not be up to the required standards particularly when dealing with very complex legal terminology. In addition there are terms in German which might be unable to translate directly into German.
As English continues to dominate the world of business it will also be a crucial part of legal systems. Having said that one could argue that as some other languages increase in influence there might be a precedent for legal cases to be carried out in other languages such as Chinese, Spanish and Arabic.
It may be a bit premature today but as the world continues to shrink it might be common practice for courts in the UK, America, Canada and Australia.
If the migration of people continues to flow around the globe, especially in locations such as the American and Mexican border, the volume of Spanish speakers will continue to increase, as will the demand for Spanish to English translation.
Spanish is the second language in America with over 34 million speakers, according to the 2007 American Community Survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau. If in America there were Spanish speaking business and civil courts it could help to make life much better for millions of people, businesses and could even decrease the growing demand for English to Spanish translation.
