A complaint is considered verified if, in the complaint, the plaintiff swears under penalty of perjury that everything is true and correct. Sometimes the verification will be separate from the complaint; other times it will be included at the end of the Complaint itself.
If it is verified, the plaintiff makes assertions under the pains and penalties of perjury. A verified complaint also forces the defendant to respond to the lawsuit with a verified answer. This tactic forces the defendant to immediately make statements about the allegations under oath.
The answer must be in writing and: (1) Set forth in paragraphs numbered to correspond with the complaint. (2) Advise the parties and the Commission as to the nature of the defense. (3) Admit or deny specifically all material allegations of the complaint.
