198: Registrar and officers of court
or “The boss of the court can choose helpers to do important jobs and paperwork for the court.”
You could also call this:

“A court worker can officially write down and record what people say is true.”

The Registrar of the Employment Court can take an affidavit. An affidavit is a written statement that you swear is true. This means if you need to give a sworn statement for a case in the Employment Court, the Registrar can help you do this officially.
