A Letter of Witness Statement is a crucial document in the English and Welsh legal system, used to present written testimony in civil and criminal proceedings. It allows witnesses to provide their evidence in a structured format, reducing court time and ensuring clarity of testimony. The document must comply with Civil Procedure Rules and typically includes the witness's personal details, their connection to the case, and a chronological account of relevant events. The statement must be accompanied by a statement of truth, making false statements subject to contempt of court. Witness statements are particularly important in preliminary hearings and can often prevent the need for full trials.
