Document background
An Affidavit of Statement of Facts is commonly used when formal sworn testimony is required outside of court proceedings. It provides a way to present evidence or statements in a legally binding format under English and Welsh law. This document type is particularly valuable when direct oral testimony isn't practical or when written evidence needs to be preserved. The affidavit must detail relevant facts known to the deponent, be sworn or affirmed before an authorized official, and comply with Civil Procedure Rules and related legislation. It's frequently used in legal proceedings, property matters, financial declarations, and various administrative procedures where formal sworn statements are necessary.
