Statutory declarations

A statutory declaration is a formal written statement made by an individual affirming certain facts to be true. These declarations are typically made in situations where there is no formal legal requirement for an oath or affidavit, but where a declaration of truth is necessary, such as in administrative or procedural matters. 

Overall, statutory declarations play an important role in the legal system by providing a formal mechanism for individuals to assert the truthfulness of specific statements or facts in various legal and administrative proceedings.
