The judge in this commercial landlord/tenancy matter did not follow the administrative directives covering the use of interpreters and thus defendant was deprived of his right to a Marini hearing. Whenever a matter is on the record, non
English-speaking litigants are entitled to an interpreter provided by the court. The appeal of the judgment for possession of the store, however, is moot since the property has been re-rented. Defendant may seek relief in another forum.
