Affidavit of Service

An affidavit of service in Ontario court is a legal document that confirms that a specific court document (such as a notice of motion, statement of claim, or other legal papers) has been properly delivered to the party involved in a legal proceeding. This affidavit is typically sworn or affirmed by the person who served the documents, providing details such as:

1. Date and time of service: When the documents were delivered.

2. Method of service: How the documents were served (e.g., in person, by mail, or electronically).

3. Recipient information: Details about the person who received the documents.

4. Description of the documents: What specific documents were served.

The affidavit is then filed with the court to provide evidence that the party has been notified and to ensure that the legal process can move forward. Proper service is crucial for the court to have jurisdiction over the parties involved.
