New Zealand law explained for everyone

198A: Registrar may take affidavit
or “A court worker can officially write down and record what people say is true.”

You could also call this:

“The Employment Court has an official stamp that all courts must recognise as valid.”

The Employment Court has a special seal. This seal is like an official stamp that belongs to the court. When you see this seal, you should know that it’s from the Employment Court. All other courts will recognise this seal as official. The seal is used for all official purposes related to the Employment Court. You don’t need to worry about proving if the seal is real or not because it’s already accepted as genuine by everyone.
