Supreme Court Rules 1987

(1) An affidavit shall be made in the first person.

(2) Unless the Court otherwise orders, an affidavit shall state the place of residence of the deponent and his occupation or, if he has none, his description, and that he is a party to the proceeding or employed by a party, if that be the case.

(3) Notwithstanding subrule (2), where a deponent makes an affidavit in a professional or other occupational capacity, the affidavit may, instead of stating the deponent's place of residence, state the address of his place of business, the position he holds and the name of his firm or employer, if any.

(4) An affidavit shall be divided into paragraphs numbered consecutively, each paragraph being as far as possible confined to a distinct portion of the subject.

(7) The first page of an affidavit shall be headed immediately beneath the title of the proceeding with the name of the deponent and the date on which the affidavit is made.

(8) An affidavit shall on the outside identify the party on whose behalf it is filed and state the name of the deponent and the date on which the affidavit is made.
