Form SJ-1098, “Application to the Court in Civil Matters,” is used to bring an application to the Court in an already-open civil file (e.g. amending a conclusion, requesting a delay, an adjournment, or any other measure).
The form includes a “Declaration under Oath” section: the applicant attests that the facts alleged in support of the application are true, to the best of their knowledge.
The oath, in brief
Form SJ-1098 contains a declaration under oath (or a solemn affirmation): it must be signed before a person legally authorized to receive it — a Commissioner for Oaths, notary, lawyer, clerk, or justice of the peace.
In Québec, a Commissioner for Oaths can administer this oath remotely, by videoconference, when the required conditions are met (seeing and hearing each other, viewing the document, keeping it confidential).
Where to get the document
Form SJ-1098 is published in French only by Québec's Ministère de la Justice. No official English version of this specific document is currently published — the organization's English page lists the same category of forms.
