This query is : Resolved
Difference between affidavit and testimony. Because the defination of the testimony is as follows :
In the law, testimony is a form of evidence that is obtained from a witness who makes a solemn statement or declaration of fact. Testimony may be oral or written, and it is usually made by oath or affirmation under penalty of perjury. Unless a witness is testifying as an expert witness, testimony in the form of opinions or inferences is generally limited to those opinions or inferences that are rationally based on the perceptions of the witness and are helpful to a clear understanding of the witness' testimony.
So I think there is no difference between affidavit & testimony. Pls correct me if i am wrong.
Thnaking u all experts in advance.

Affidavit becomes testimony only after it is recorded by the court.
