Requisites in filing a Complaint
6. Affidavits- is a written account of someone’s evidence or statement of facts. The term ‘affidavit’
comes from medieval Latin and means “he has stated on oath”. The benefit of presenting
evidence in this way is that each party in a court case is aware of what the other’s witnesses will
say at the trial.

a. Affidavit of complaint- is a sworn statement prepared by someone who wishes to file a legal
complaint. Such statements are filed when people wish to file suit against someone for a
violation of civil law and they can also be involved in criminal cases, when a victim files a
formal complaint with the assistance of law enforcement.
b. Affidavit of arrest- is generally filled out by the arresting officer and states the facts and
circumstances surrounding an arrest. The affidavit may state such facts as the information
which led to the arrest and the observations made before and after the arrest occurred. It is
a statement given under oath and penalty of perjury. It may also be referred to as an arrest
report.

Parts of an Affidavit of Arrest

1. Affidavit Title – is a simple title at the top of the document stating the deponent’s name
or the affiant.

2. S.S. – Scilicet abbreviated as.

3. Affidavit of Fact Statement – the first paragraph of an affidavit states the deponent’s
personal info, i.e. full name, age, occupation, complete address or residence.

4. Affidavit Footer or Affidavit Signature – an affidavit has to be signed by both the

deponent and the person before whom it was sworn. The name of the signing person
