Witness statements are written evidence presented to court or tribunal. Must include case heading, numbered paragraphs, chronological facts, statement of truth, and evidence bundle references. Statements replace live testimony.
A witness statement is a written document setting out the evidence a person will give at a court hearing or tribunal. It replaces oral examination-in-chief — meaning the witness statement IS your evidence. The judge reads it before the hearing, and you may only be cross-examined on its contents.
Our template is structured to help you meet CPR Part 32 requirements and present evidence clearly.
Avoid opinions, hearsay, vague dates, missing numbering, unsigned statements of truth, failure to reference evidence bundles, and argumentative language. Focus on facts you personally witnessed.
Our template includes structured sections and guidance to help avoid these common errors.
Template includes court case heading, witness identification, numbered paragraphs, chronological evidence sections, evidence bundle references, exhibit guidance, multiple incident documentation, and properly formatted statement of truth.
Related documents: Witness statements are typically filed alongside Evidence Bundle, Defence Statement, and Section 8 Notice.
Prepare statements by court-ordered directions deadline (14–28 days before hearing). Statements are exchanged simultaneously, filed at court, cross-examined at hearing. Judge reads statement in advance; you won't read it aloud.
Start preparing early — good witness statements take time to draft carefully and accurately.
Only include facts you personally know. The Statement of Truth confirms the contents are true. False statements are contempt of court and can result in fines or imprisonment. Be specific with dates, times, and locations. Reference documents in your evidence bundle by page number. Number every paragraph sequentially.
A witness statement is a written account of facts and events that a person has directly witnessed.
It's used in court proceedings, tribunal hearings, employment disputes, and insurance claims.
The statement must be truthful, based on personal knowledge, and signed with a statement of truth.
Anyone with relevant first-hand knowledge of the facts.
This includes you (the landlord), your letting agent, neighbours who witnessed antisocial behaviour, contractors who carried out repairs, inventory clerks who documented property condition, or anyone else with direct knowledge of relevant events.
Each witness provides their own separate statement.
Only facts you personally know — what you saw, heard, or did.
Include a proper heading with case details, numbered paragraphs in chronological order, and references to documents in your evidence bundle by page number.
Avoid opinions, conclusions, or hearsay (what others told you) unless specifically relevant.
Be precise with dates, times, and locations.
Making false statements in a document verified by a Statement of Truth is contempt of court.
This can result in fines, imprisonment, or having your case struck out entirely.
Always be truthful — courts value credibility, and one caught exaggeration can undermine your entire case.
Many litigants in person prepare witness statements themselves without legal representation.
Our template includes CPR Part 32 compliant formatting, numbered paragraph structure, and the correct Statement of Truth wording.
Consider legal advice for complex cases or if you're uncertain about which evidence to include, but the physical preparation is straightforward.

£10 one-time. That's it. No subscriptions, no recurring fees, no "free trial" traps.
Here's what we don't do: Other sites advertise "free templates" — you spend 15 minutes filling one in, then they demand your card for a "free trial" that charges £35–£42/month when you forget to cancel. Worse, many are US-based and won't hold up under UK law. (Read about the scam)
