Affidavit in Support

This is a statement which must be signed by you in front of a solicitor or by the local County Court. If you use a solicitor they are entitled to charge a fee of £5.00 for swearing the Affidavit and £2.00 for each document included with the Affidavit.

If you swear the documents at court there is no charge. County Courts cannot swear Affidavits connected to cases brought in the High Court.

You should set out in your affidavit the reasons why you are making your application.

You should send to the court the original Affidavit together with copies for the court and copies for each opponent as well as your Application Notice Form.
