   Thanks, interesting critique. The app is an MVP - really a platform into which new definitions can be poured. I did a little searching and found this source for affiant which will be good to add. https://www.sos.nd.gov/not

    Lol, thanks for the perspective from the across the water. I'm already surprised to learn how similar the concepts are (still) across all the common law countries. Even, say, between the U.S. and New Zealand. I was also surprised to fi
