A Witness Statement of Truth is a crucial document in Canadian legal proceedings, used when an individual needs to provide formal, sworn testimony about facts or events relevant to a case. This document type is commonly required in civil litigation, criminal proceedings, administrative hearings, and various regulatory matters. The statement must comply with both federal and provincial legislation, including the Canada Evidence Act and provincial evidence acts. It typically includes detailed factual accounts, may reference supporting exhibits, and must be sworn or affirmed before a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public. The document is particularly important as it can serve as evidence in court proceedings and may be used in place of or in addition to oral testimony. A Witness Statement of Truth carries serious legal weight, as making false statements can result in perjury charges under Canadian law.
