Pleadings need not be verified or have affidavit unless rule or statute requires.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only verified pleadings require attachments
• D. Only for personal injury claims

Answer: (A)

In North Carolina civil procedure, you don’t have to verify pleadings or attach an affidavit as a rule of course. Verification is required only if a specific rule or statute says you must provide sworn facts. Otherwise, a complaint or other pleading can be filed based on information and belief without a sworn statement. This keeps most filings straightforward, and the exact requirement depends on the particular type of action or statute involved. If a rule or statute does require verification, then the filing would include the necessary verified statement or affidavit; if not, the pleading can proceed without it.
