Identify the original language and available record
Keep the complete message or recording lawfully available to you and identify its language. If the words were spoken and no recording is known, describe your recollection separately. Do not replace an original message with an English summary; the surrounding exchange and source may need review.
Label every translation or summary
Explain who prepared each version, when, and whether it was a literal translation or an informal explanation. Mark words you cannot confidently translate instead of choosing a favourable substitute. A consultation in Punjabi, English or Hindi does not make a self-prepared summary a formal translation of evidence.
Explain the context without deciding its effect
Describe who was present, the subject of the conversation and the relevant surrounding words. Saying an expression was an idiom or joke does not by itself answer the allegation. Do not contact a restricted person for agreement about meaning. People seeking protection rather than defence should identify that role at first contact.
Understand the legal questions before choosing a response
An uttering-threats review needs the exact words, alleged speaker, context and statutory category. What the words meant and the required intent are distinct questions from whether the speaker planned to carry them out. Preserve the complete exchange or recording, not only the selected sentence. Counsel must assess the actual allegation and evidence rather than assume that anger, a joke or indirect communication settles the case.
Preparing for the first conversation
- Identify the original language and available record
- Label every translation or summary
- Explain the context without deciding its effect
Keep the initial website enquiry brief. Do not upload or send sensitive documents through the form; arrange any document review directly with the firm.
You do not need every item before getting in touch. Mention any approaching court or response date.
Common questions
Should I send only my English paraphrase of a message?
Keep the original and identify the paraphrase as your own explanation. Arrange detailed delivery directly so counsel can assess the words and context, including whether further translation work is needed.
Does calling an expression an idiom settle a threat allegation?
No. The actual words, context and applicable intent questions require review. Explain why you understand it that way without replacing the original record or assuming the result.
Does saying I did not intend to carry out the words settle the charge?
No. The meaning and required intent need assessment in context. Intention to carry out words is not the same question as the legally relevant intent for the actual allegation.
Should I preserve the conversation around the quoted words?
Yes. Keep the complete lawful original and identify the passage being relied on. Explain the surrounding context separately without altering or replacing the source.
