Declaration vs. Affidavit
I am not happy with the concept of swearing an oath so can I use a Statutory Declaration at the end of my 3-Notice procedure?
Also I see no valid reason why a solicitor or justice must witness a Declaration or an oath. Is it not the case that the witness of your peers is valid, in fact more so, as they have not taken any other potentially conflicting oaths to the Barr?

You should be able to do an affirmation and have that witnessed. Just put affirmation on your documents instead of oath.

Witnessing your signature and affirmation only applies to an affdaivit. Your Notices don’t need a witness.

A stat dec can’t be used as evidence in court. It’s more for use in public against any claimant and you can carry it with you to pass to any claimant in public. You need affidavits and agreements/3 step Notices etc in court because those are the documents the judiciary can see and that establish truth in commercial courts. This is not legal advice but just suggestions, it is up to you to do your own research.
