The CLA welcomes all to learn or have a refresher on everything you ever needed to know about the different types of practices and documents which record a person’s evidence. The seminar will cover such matters as the use of a statement, affidavit or statutory declaration, what information those documents should include, what are the pitfalls for drafting re matters such as admissibility, legislative compliance and tactical considerations.
