English
- on information and belief
- upon information and belief
Dutch
- op basis van informatie en overtuiging
In the law of evidence, the phrase information and belief identifies a statement that is made, not from firsthand knowledge, but "based on secondhand information that the declarant believes is true".[1]
The phrase is often used in legal pleadings, declarations under penalty of perjury, and affidavits under oath[2]. It is often used in a phrase similar to: "The plaintiff is informed and believes, and upon such information and belief alleges".[3] This "protects the maker of the statement from claims of outright falsehood or perjury".[4]
