When is this form used?
A person filing an application or response, whether seeking final, interim or procedural orders, must also file an affidavit stating the facts they wish to rely upon; see Subrule 4.05(1).
However, a statement of claim (points of claim)/ statement of defence (points of defence) can be filed in general federal law proceedings rather than a supporting affidavit; see Subrule 4.05(2) and (3).
In preparing an affidavit, you should note Division 15.4 of the Federal Magistrates Court Rules 2001.
