1. THREAD: Why are sworn affidavits still a thing? I've seen no empirical evidence that documents sworn before a notary/lawyer are more reliable. Most tribunals admit unsworn statements & having held 100s of hearings I've noticed no difference, credibility-wise. #COVID19 #BCLaw 2. But what if people lie? If you're going to lie to a court or tribunal, it's unlikely that swearing a document in front of a notary is going to change that. There are serious statutory and common law consequences for misleading a judicial body, including fines/imprisonment.
