About this South Australian Supreme Court affidavit template

This South Australian affidavit form has been designed to look good, be easy to work with and and to comply with the rules of court. The layout is easy to read in print and electronic form, and the template has its own bespoke, auto-numbering that actually works and looks lovely.

This template complies with s 46 and s 97(3) of the Supreme Court Civil Supplementary Rules 2014 (SA) and s 162 of the Supreme Court Civil Rules 2006 (SA).

The affidavit template is a combination of two forms: Form 1, which is the coversheet form for all court documents, and Form 33, which is the affidavit form. The template has a page break between the two forms as the rules of court require.

Because the template complies with the relevant rules of court, this means that it has:

  • auto pagination;
  • printing in size 12 font in Arial font (this font is required if the document is to be electronically filed);
  • margins of 4 centimetres to the left and 2 centimetres to the right of each page;
  • one and a half spacing between lines; and
  • double spacing between paragraphs.

Use of this free template is subject to our terms and conditions.
