Theme
Justice, disputes and proceedings
Before a court or a body, a sworn declaration records facts the person says they observed. It can support a claim, a defence or a complaint, and the form varies by procedure (civil, penal, small claims).
The articles in this theme explain these declarations, their usual content and the official forms published by the Government of Québec. They provide no legal advice: for your file, consult a lawyer or the registry of the court concerned.
