Rule 13.1(q) RoP (request that document need not be translated in Statement of claim) applies mutatis mutandis for other submissions, although not explicitly for a Statement of response in appeal proceedings. (R. 236 RoP). A party in appeal proceedings will only be relieved from the duty to provide translations of documents filed first with the Court of Appeal if the Court of Appeal accepts this (R. 7 RoP).
