Proposed text

—(1) In any proceedings before the Registrar under the Act, evidence must be given by way of a statutory declaration, unless otherwise provided by the Act or directed by the Registrar.(2) Subject to the provisions of the Oaths and Declarations Act (Cap. 211) and these Rules, Division 2 of Order 15 of the Rules of Court 2021 (G.N. No. S 914/2021) applies, with the necessary modifications, in relation to a statutory declaration filed or used in any proceedings before the Registrar as it applies to an affidavit filed or used in any proceedings before the Court.(3) Despite paragraph (2), any statutory declaration used in any proceedings before the Registrar may contain statements of information or belief with the sources and grounds for the belief.(4) Any such statutory declaration may, in the case of an appeal to the Court, be used before the Court in lieu of evidence by affidavit, and if so used, must have all the incidents and consequences of evidence by affidavit.(5) The Registrar may, in any particular case, take oral evidence in lieu of or in addition to a statutory declaration and must, unless the Registrar otherwise directs, allow any witness to be cross‑examined on the witness’ statutory declaration or oral evidence.
