Remote swearing of affidavits now in Circuit Court

Remote swearing of Circuit Court affidavits

Rules allowing the remote swearing of affidavits in Circuit Court proceedings have come into force since Friday 3 November 2023.

The Circuit Court Rules (Affidavits) 2023 will allow for an affidavit to be sworn in the physical presence of an officer or, if it is “not practicable for the deponent to attend”, via video-conference.

The move follows similar changes previously made to the Superior Court Rules.

The revisions also insert requirements for affidavits – specifically that they must now include information about a deponent’s employment and age.
