PRETEST 2

1. Give legal consequences of lying on an affidavit? Explain.

Juries and judges frequently rely on sworn evidence and signed papers to arrive at
their convictions, punishments, or other significant decisions. Under oath, statements and
certain legal documents are considered to be accurate or made in good faith. However, how
can we be sure that witnesses and other participants in a judicial proceeding are truthful?
While we cannot always be specific, people who intentionally mislead a court face significant
criminal accusations of PERJURY. To PERJURE oneself is to intentionally make FALSE
STATEMENTS UNDER OBSERVATION intentionally or sign a legal document that you
know is false or misleading. Because the judicial system's basis is built on trust and
trustworthiness, the crime is taken quite severely. After all, a single sworn declaration can tip
the balance of justice and significantly impact someone's life. Perjury is regarded as a crime
against justice, as it jeopardizes the authority of courts, grand juries, governing bodies, and
public authorities when they lie under oath. Criminal contempt of court, probation violation,
and evidence tampering are further offences against justice.

2. Write an essay about the Importance of having a knowledge in signing an Affidavit.

An affidavit is a written or typed declaration of facts under oath, also known as an

affidavit. Due to the realities of crucial information utilized in the investigations, a sworn
statement is used. Sworn testimonies of the witnesses vary according to the purpose and
usage of the paper. The most frequent declarations of sworn witnesses concerning criminal
investigations are those made by the police or other officers. In civil proceedings, Sworn
Testimony Statements may also be utilized, though generally by lawyers. Every individual
may make a witness statement, but it only becomes a sworn statement of a witness when he is
promised to be truthful to a Commissioner of Evaluation.

An unsworn testimony differs only in one manner compared to a sworn deposition,

which is that it cannot be used for obtaining/obtaining warrants. Unworn statements by
witnesses are essential because they provide us with information that may be used to
interrogate and compare the facts of witnesses. When an unsworn declaration is used as
evidence, many supporting points must be shown to support the finding.

Theft against Ms. Charline Geconcillo, a legal age and a resident of #3 Blk

and through Ms. Jaca, we exchange phone numbers and agreed on a day in
which the respondent will start with his duties.

(3) On March 18th, 2021, the respondent arrived at 2 PM; I oriented her to her
duties and showed her around my house in order to familiarize her with her
in the area.

(4) The following day, she officially started her duties as a part of the house hold
help. I left home for work at 6:30 AM; after giving her instructions on what
to do for the rest of the day. I arrived home from work at 7 PM and checked
if all her task were accomplished. Everything was in order.

(5) We followed the same routine for one week. On March 25 th, 2021, when the
respondent was out on a day off, I was going through my bedside table were
my gadgets is. I was not able to find my laptop and decided to ask the
respondent if she had seen it through a text message. she replied she had not
seen the loptop but volunteered to look for it once she returned. However I
forgotten to ask her about it the following day.
 (6) Two weeks had passed after that incident before I noticed that something was
amiss. April 14th, 2021, when a respondent had her day off. I noticed that
some of my jewelleries were missing. I also could not find some of my
designers shirts that I owned and I also check my drawers that day and I
discovered my 45 calibre pistol and iPod has been taken as well .

kept seeing the respondent talking to a man by the gate and saw on April 5 th,
2021, between 10to 11 AM, that said man was permitted to enter the house
by the respondent and later exited the premises while carrying the
respondent’s belongings with the addition of a big brown bag.

(8) I reported the incident on that same day and tried to contact the respondent,
but she could not be reached and never showed up for work thereafter.

(9) Her acts are clearly within the purview of the Article 310 of the Revised

LESSON 2: PRE-TEST IN LEGAL ASPECTS OF AFFIDAVIT

INSTRUCTION: Give legal consequences of lying on an affidavit? Explain.

Affidavit perjury can result in criminal charges and criminal convictions for the
involved officers. Perjury is the act of willful giving false testimony aster giving an
oath or affirmation to speak the truth. For example, some people lie to give themselves
an advantage or to avoid getting in trouble, when they did wrong but if someone lies on
his say they can be punished by the judge at trial. To “PERJURE” yourself is to
knowingly make misleading or FALSE STATEMENTS under oath or o sign a legal
document you know to be a false or misleading. The crime is taken very seriously
because the foundation of the legal system depends on trust and credibility. After all,
just one sworn statement has the power to the scales of justice and dramatically alter
someone’s life. When the truth is discovered, the judge may impose a fine, assign
additional litigation costs, or dismiss the case entirely if it was brought by the party
who provided false information.

Competency Assessment No 2.

INSTRUCTION: Write an essay about the “Importance of having a knowledge in

signing an Affidavit”.

For me, The Importance of having a knowledge in signing an Affidavit is very

important to have a personal knowledge to signing an affidavit because you aware and
understand on how to write the affidavit wisely without difficulty
It is a sworn statement that is made under oath under any jurisdiction. And the person
who is responsible for making the statements in known as the affiant. It is a fact that as
and when you sign an affidavit form, you simply affirm that the statement is made with
complete personal knowledge. For example, you have knowledge in signing an
affidavit an Affidavit of Guardianship when we say affidavit of guardianship this is a
legal guardianship is one of the options parents can avail if they are planning for their
children’s care without them around due to a variety of situations, such as illness or
incarceration. It allows parents to appoint a caregiver and give him or her certain legal
rights regarding the care of the children.

LESSON 2: PRE-TEST IN LEGAL ASPECTS OF AFFIDAVIT

1. Give legal consequences of lying on an affidavit? Explain.

To arrive at their convictions, sentences, or other critical decisions, juries and

judges typically rely on sworn evidence and signed papers. Statements and certain
legal documents are assumed to be accurate or prepared in good faith when made
under oath. But how can we be certain that witnesses and other participants in a legal
action are telling the truth? We can't always be precise, but we can try like people
who purposefully deceive a court face serious criminal charges of perjury. To
willfully make false statements under observation or sign a legal document that you
know is false or misleading is to perjure oneself. Because the foundation of the court
system is confidence and trustworthiness, the offense is treated harshly. After all, a
single sworn statement can tip the scales of justice and have a profound influence on
someone's life. Perjury is a crime against justice because it puts the authority of
courts, grand juries, governing bodies, and public officials at jeopardy when they lie
under oath. More crimes against justice include criminal contempt of court, probation
violations, and evidence tampering.

2. Write an essay about the “importance of having knowledge in signing an

Affidavit”.

In my opinion, the importance of knowing how to sign an affidavit or having

personal knowledge of how to sign an affidavit is very significant because you will be
informed and understand how to write the said document sensibly and without trouble.
It is a sworn statement given under oath in a court of law in any country and the affiant
is the individual who is in charge of making the statements.
Let us say for example, you are a lawyer, someone filed an affidavit of loss
because he or she lost something like an identification card or school ID, etc. As a
lawyer, you will make sure that his or her statement about losing an important file or
document is relevant, reliable, and true to his/her belief because it is your duty to make
sure that he/she may file this kind of affidavit based on your expertise because if you
issued an affidavit without any knowledge of it, you may put yourself or the affiant at
risk so it is important to know the affidavit that you issue.
