This topic is designed to help you construct a formal Brief of Evidence for a Court case.

 

We give you an example of a Brief of Evidence in template form so you can fill in your own evidence. 

 

We provide you with a sample Statement of Claim and a sample Brief of Evidence in the same case so you can get a clear view of the differences between the two documents.  But you should first know that as at 1 November 2009 the whole District Court procedure for making civil claims changed and Statements of Claim and Statements of Defence are not used.

 

Here is a very helpful link with forms to use.  We repeat it at the bottom of the page so we suggest you read our information first.

DISTRICT COURT CIVIL CLAIMS . . . . .

 

 

 

Here is a direct link to the new Rules.

"I am a retired Solicitor from Kent in England and the $45 I spent on your site was really helpful because I am intending settling in New Zealand and your "one stop shop" was a real boon to me. Thanks again. Arnold T. Devon, England"

"I found this interesting. I want to sue for punitive damages and I was interested to learn that our courts are pretty conservative. I think the Welfare have quite wrongly taken my kids and I have found out that the affidavit they gave to a Judge to get an order to uplift them was known to the Welfare to be incorrect. They told the Judge that I had drug convictions but when I found out 5 months ago that they thought that I proved then to them that this was untrue yet I have now found that they have still put this false evidence in an affidavit. But they have also told other people about my "drug convictions". You have to watch these people. (name witheld) - May 2007"

"A fabulous topic. Why are there no other sites which actually give examples. The lay person does not get to see Claims like this set out so clearly. I think there is a bit of a myth about te law which is buit up by lawyers. Please get as many examples as you can on to this topic please Netlaw . . . Graeme - Tauranga - May 2007"
