Effective affidavits or witness statements in court must be relevant, concise, and persuasive. Poorly drafted affidavits risk being inadmissible, facts being overlooked, or procedural non-compliance. This can lead to adverse costs orders or dismissal of your client’s case. 

In this practical seminar, our presenter will provide essential techniques for drafting admissible affidavits and witness statements that meet procedural and evidentiary standards, with a focus on:  

  • Eliminating objectionable material and complying with evidentiary rules. 
  • Managing hearsay, opinion evidence, and admissibility challenges. 
  • Common drafting errors and how to avoid them. 
  • Practical tips for clarity, structure, and persuasive presentation. 
  • Recent case law and procedural developments. 

A must attend for all practitioners seeking to sharpen their drafting skills and strengthen the evidentiary value of their written evidence.
