Who may sign a statement of truth as described in the authorization?

• A. By The Person Signing Or By A Legal Representative On Their Behalf
• B. By The Clerk
• C. By The Opponent
• D. By The Court

Answer: (A)

A statement of truth is a declaration that the facts in a document are true, and it must be signed by the person who made the statement or by someone authorised to sign on their behalf. In practice, that means the individual themselves or their legal representative (for example, a solicitor) who has authority to act for them may sign. This keeps the responsibility for accuracy tied to the correct party. A clerk, the opponent, or the court don’t have authority to sign on behalf of the party for the purpose of affirming the truth of the party’s statements.
