AFFIDAVITS AND DECLARATIONS IN SUPPORT OF PROVISIONAL REMEDIES
ORS 45.130 Production of affiant or declarant for cross-examination. Whenever a provisional remedy has been allowed upon affidavit, a declaration under penalty of perjury as described in ORCP 1 E or an unsworn declaration under ORS 194.800 to 194.835, if the declarant is physically outside the boundaries of the United States, the party against whom it is allowed may serve upon the party by whom it was obtained a notice, requiring the affiant or declarant to be produced for cross-examination before a named officer authorized to administer oaths. Thereupon the party to whom the remedy was allowed shall lose the benefit of the affidavit or declaration and all proceedings founded thereon, unless within eight days, or such other time as the court or judge may direct, upon a previous notice to the adversary of at least three days, the party produces the affiant or declarant for examination before the officer mentioned in the notice, or some other of like authority, provided for in the order of the court or judge. Upon production, the affiant or declarant may be examined by either party, but a party is not obliged to make this production of an affiant or a declarant except within the county where the provisional remedy was allowed. [Amended by 2003 c.194 §3; 2013 c.218 §12]
