E-bulletin Reminder: Changes to Statement of Truth | Three Stone

A reminder amidst the many changes to our lives…

With effect from 6 April 2020, the wording of the Statement of Truth required by CPR Part 22 will change.

The form of words verifying a document other than a witness statement should be:

[I believe] [The party believes] that the facts stated in this [document] are true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief if its truth.

The form of words verifying a witness statement should be provided in the language of the witness and should be:

I believe that the facts stated in this witness statement are true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.  

Statements of truth must be dated with the date on which they are signed.
