A Declaration of Witness is a crucial document in legal proceedings under English and Welsh law, typically used when factual or expert evidence needs to be presented to a court or tribunal. This document allows witnesses to provide their testimony in written form, reducing court time and ensuring clarity of evidence. The statement must be in the witness's own words and include a statement of truth, making it a legally binding document. The Declaration of Witness can be used in various contexts, from civil litigation to regulatory proceedings, and must comply with strict procedural requirements set out in the Civil Procedure Rules.
