Practice question
A verified Rule38 petition is timely under both limits, but it includes no affidavit of the alleged excusable event and no facts supporting a good and substantial defense. Counsel says verification alone supplies every missing requirement. Which is best?
- Verification automatically proves all merits
- Timeliness eliminates every content requirement
- The plaintiff’s allegations become false automatically
- Section3 separately requires the affidavits and merits facts; verification alone does not replace them
- Any petition automatically stays enforcement forever
