15 Requirement to make affirmation
Where a person required or permitted by law to take an oath—
appears to a person before whom an oath may be taken to be incompetent to take an oath; or
is objected to, on grounds a person before whom an oath may be taken considers reasonable, as incompetent to take an oath; or
wishes to take an oath in a form and manner permitted under section 21, but it is not, in the opinion of a person before whom an oath may be taken, reasonably practicable without inconvenience or delay for him to take that oath at the appropriate time and place;
the person before whom an oath may be taken may require that firstmentioned person to make an affirmation instead of taking an oath.
