Identification of deponents
The Law Society Litigation Committee has published an update on the jurat requirements when filing affidavits.
Practitioners should note that the jurat of any affidavit sworn should contain wording which specifically states that the document the solicitor relied upon to identify the deponent contained a photograph of the deponent.
The Central Office may refuse to file affidavits that do not comply with this requirement
The Courts Service has updated the precedent affidavit and a copy of it can be found on the Courts Service website.
