A Witness Statement Declaration is a crucial document in English and Welsh legal proceedings, used to present written evidence to the court. It must be drafted in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules and practice directions, containing a clear statement of the facts known to the witness. The declaration includes the witness's personal information, their evidence in chronological order, and must be signed with a statement of truth. Non-compliance with these requirements can result in the statement being inadmissible or the witness facing penalties for perjury.
