법원 절차상 수어통역비용 국고부담화 등을 위한 입법방안

According to the interpretation of the Anti-Discrimination against and Remedies for Persons with Disabilities Act(ADRPDA), the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities(UNCRPD) and the Korean Sign Language Act(KSLA), the state shall bear the cost in cases where sign language interpretation or CART(Communication Access Realtime Translation) is conducted in court proceedings. However, the normative structure of the existing civil procedure act and criminal procedure act on how to pay for sign language interpretation costs had not reflected the normative changes in these disability-related statutes. Conflicts of norms arose between the existing law on the cost of litigation and the ADRPDA, the UNCRPD, and the KSLA. In order to resolve the conflict of these norms, it is necessary to harmoniously interpret that sign language interpretation or CART costs are not included in the cost of interpretation or stenographic reporting, which were included in the costs of litigation under the existing law. Fundamentally, legislation to prohibit imposing surcharges for sign language interpretation and legislation on various communication methods for deaf or hearing impaired persons such as CART must be made. This article discusses principles and key issues to be considered in these legislations, and presents legislative proposals in the appendix at various levels such as laws, Supreme Court rules, and regulations.
