Purpose of the affidavit
Rule 20-5 requires an affidavit in Form F86 as part of the application to waive government court fees. The affidavit gives the court evidence relevant to the statutory-benefit or undue-hardship test.
Be complete and accurate
Because the application turns on financial hardship or specified assistance benefits, incomplete or inconsistent financial information can undermine the request. Use the current form and provide the supporting information it asks for.
The three-form package
The Rules identify the package as Form F17 requisition + draft Form F85 order + Form F86 affidavit. Think of them as request, proposed order and evidence.
Scope of any waiver
Even if granted, the order applies only to the court fees and scope described in Rule 20-5 and the order. It is not a general litigation-cost exemption.
