Re: Witnesses statement of fact

I assume you mean a witness statement. Dont know if there is any special format it should take, but I usually start off by saying something like:-

1. I xxxx xxxx (name) of xxxx (address) will say as follows
2. The facts to which I refer are within my own knowledge
3. Continue with the numbering listing the facts chronologically

Hope this is of some help

if you made notes at hte time of the incident then it is worth saying that as well as they are more likely to be accurate than your recollection .
