Non-Compliant Statutory Declarations

Sue Furness
Non-Compliant Statutory Declarations – A page has been added to jpauckland.org.nz where Justices can submit a copy of a Statutory Declaration that does not comply with the Oaths and Declarations Act 1957. You’ll find this important resource in JP Corner, in the Useful Resources section.
This page lists a number of statutory declarations that are currently non-compliant. In addition, it outlines common mistakes and oversights that render a statutory declaration non-compliant, with helpful tips on how to respond professionally and lawfully. It’s designed to protect both the JP and the client, ensuring all declarations meet the legal standards required under the Oaths and Declarations Act 1957.
If you are presented with a non-compliant Statutory Declaration you can add it to the list by completing & submitting the form in JP Corner and uploading a copy of the form.
