Affidavits and Verification
Why sworn statements require careful factual checking.
What this means
An affidavit or verified pleading is not casual correspondence. It places factual statements before an authority or court and should be checked for accuracy and consistency.
What to keep ready
- Read every paragraph before signing.
- Check dates, names and annexures.
- Do not include facts you cannot responsibly state.
