déclaration sous serment : Dans les règles de procédure des tribunaux fédéraux, le terme français qu'on retrouve habituellement est «affidavit». Parfois, des tribunaux comme la Cour canadienne de l'impôt emploient «déclaration sous serment». Il faut noter qu'en réalité, certaines personnes ne prêteront pas serment, mais feront une affirmation solennelle, notamment pour des raisons religieuses. C'est la raison pour laquelle le terme français «affidavit», critiqué par certains, s'est tout de même implanté dans l'usage au lieu de «déclaration sous serment». 4, record 1, French, - affidavit
