What is an Affidavit of Foreign Law, and why do you need one?

An Affidavit of Foreign Law is a sworn statement by a qualified and licensed legal expert explaining the laws of a foreign country. It is typically used in legal proceedings where a court or administrative body needs to understand or apply a law from another country.

Because judges and officials may not be familiar with foreign legal systems, this affidavit helps ensure accurate interpretation. It’s most commonly used in:

• International business disputes

• Inheritance cases (probate, succession, etc.) in which the deceased bequeaths assets from more than one jurisdiction 

• Cross-border family law matters

• Cases involving the enforcement of foreign court orders

Here’s an example of a case that required an affidavit of Thai law that Siam Legal assisted with:

In a divorce case involving a Thai national and a British citizen being heard in a UK court, the judge required clarification on relevant Thai legal principles. In order to rule on the case, the judge needed an expert legal opinion on certain areas of Thai family and divorce law. A licensed lawyer from Siam Legal’s Family Law Team provided a written, sworn statement in English to be used as an affidavit of Thai law. We provided a knowledgeable and accurate report that enabled the judge to deliver an informed and legal ruling.
