Definition. A verified complaint is a sworn document in which the plaintiff tells the court the facts of the case and states what relief is sought.
Typically, a plaintiff verifies a complaint by attaching a page at the end containing a statement made under oath that: The plaintiff has reviewed the complaint. The plaintiff knows or believes that all allegations that the plaintiff has personal knowledge of to be true.
If you file a complaint without any legal or factual support or for some improper purpose, the court can “sanction” you.

Any motion to dismiss a complaint shall be supported by affidavit and/or brief. The opposing party may file an opposition to the motion to dismiss. The Director shall rule on the motion to dismiss on the papers, without oral argument.
