This requires an affidavit to be sworn to say that what is in the pleadings is an accurate and true reflection. If a fraudulent claim has begun, why would it be to the advantage of a fraudulent claimant not to swear their pleadings? They have to do so before the court anyway at some point. All it does is delay the case. That is my point; I was not referring to the delay. A period of one or two months is beneficial, notwithstanding the impact of this.
