The court exercised its discretion under Order 41 r.4 to admit the foreign affirmation despite technical defects: the omitted address/occupation and un‑exhibited annex were minor and could be overlooked; the incomplete jurat was cured by the notary's confirming email identifying where the affirmation was taken and the notary's stamp and registration rendered it prima facie under O.41 r.12; an apostille was not required because O.41 r.12 supplies the domestic regime and Article 3 of the Hague Convention permits reliance on domestic simplifications.
