Supporting Affidavit

Structured workflow for supporting affidavit: organise the supplied facts and documents, identify missing information, draft or analyse in stages, and verify facts, authorities and assumptions before use.

This is a reusable litigation prompt from the Litigation AI Prompt Repository. It is intended for Malaysian civil litigation but can be adapted by changing the placeholders. Use the Universal Litigator Control Block first where source discipline, adversarial review and authority verification matter.

Prompt

Draft an Affidavit in Support of `[APPLICATION]` by `[DEPONENT]`.

Establish the deponent’s identity, authority, personal knowledge and sources of information. Present facts chronologically and link each material fact to the legal test without turning the affidavit into submissions.

For information-and-belief evidence, identify the source and grounds. Introduce exhibits individually and accurately. Do not exhibit privileged communications unless expressly instructed. Do not include legal argument, advocacy, speculation or facts outside the deponent’s competence.

Use placeholders for missing exhibit markings, dates or facts. Conclude by tying the factual basis to the relief sought without asserting that the court “must” accept a contested legal conclusion.
