Affidavit in support of application - rehearing form

Use this form to make an affidavit supporting an application for a rehearing of a civil proceeding to the court.

An affidavit in support of an application for rehearing must address:

• Reasons why you did not file a defence.
• When you became aware of the proceedings and what steps were taken after this.
• Where the other party(s) does not provide consent to the application, reasons why you say you have an arguable defence to the claim. For example, why is the money not owed (as per the claim order) or why is the plaintiff’s claim wrong.
