Article 3.2 Verification and filing

The statement of affairs shall be in Form 10, shall contain all the particulars required by that form and shall be verified by affidavit by the deponents (using the same form).

The special railway administrator may require any of the persons mentioned in section 22(3) of the 1986 Act to submit an affidavit of concurrence, stating that he concurs in the statement of affairs.

An affidavit of concurrence may be qualified in respect of matters dealt with in the statement of affairs, where the maker of the affidavit is not in agreement with the deponents, or he considers the statement to be erroneous or misleading, or he is without the direct knowledge necessary for concurring with it.

The statement of affairs shall be delivered to the special railway administrator by the deponent making the affidavit of verification (or by one of them, if more than one), together with a copy of the verified statement.

Every affidavit of concurrence shall be delivered by the person who makes it, together with a copy.

The special railway administrator shall file the verified copy of the statement, and the affidavits of concurrence (if any) in court.
