Description
Flag an exact time-string collision for a supplied same-interpreter flag.
Justice records separate consent status, case identifiers, interpreter appointments, document versions and event clocks. A supplied time-string match does not establish a scheduling conflict, and a precision label does not anonymize a record. Local reimbursement and hearing-date arithmetic do not determine legal eligibility, compliance or appropriate action.
Flag an exact time-string collision for a supplied same-interpreter flag.
When to use this tool
Use Interpreter Appointment Duplicate Time Flag when you already have firstAppointmentTime, secondAppointmentTime, sameInterpreter and need to flag an exact time-string collision for a supplied same-interpreter flag.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter firstAppointmentTime, secondAppointmentTime, sameInterpreter. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read duplicateTime. Inspect duplicateTime before interpreting the associated values.
Require both appointment-time strings nonempty; duplicateTime=sameInterpreter && exact time-string equality.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| firstAppointmentTime | First Appointment Time | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| secondAppointmentTime | Second Appointment Time | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| sameInterpreter | Same Interpreter | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| duplicateTime | Same-interpreter flag plus exact time-string match; equivalent formatted times and overlapping intervals are not resolved. | Required. Boolean. |

"input": {
"firstAppointmentTime": "2026-11-01 10:00",
"secondAppointmentTime": "2026-11-01 10:00",
"sameInterpreter": true
},
"output": {
"duplicateTime": true
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Times are not parsed or timezone-normalized. No interpreter identity, duration overlap, booking availability, conflict or service suitability is established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check authoritative case, service, consent and scheduling records with the applicable rules for an actual justice matter. Verify timestamps, permissions and interpretation context; local labels and signed intervals do not establish legal effect, identity or a valid proceeding.
