California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Jara v. Municipal Court, 145 Cal.Rptr. 847, 21 Cal.3d 181, 578 P.2d 94 (Cal. 1978):
1 Although the special nature of an action in small claims court justified the court's extension of the right to a court-appointed interpreter to an indigent plaintiff (see Sanderson v. Niemann (1941) 17 Cal.2d 563, 573-574, 110 P.2d 1025), we do not reach this question here.
