Remedy for defective verification
Rule 3022. Remedy for defective verification. A defectively verified pleading shall be treated as an unverified pleading. Where a pleading is served without a sufficient verification in a case where the adverse party is entitled to a verified pleading, he may treat it as a nullity, provided he gives notice with due diligence to the attorney of the adverse party that he elects so to do.
A defectively verified pleading is treated as unverified. If a party entitled to a verified pleading gets an insufficiently verified one, they may treat it as a nullity — but must give notice with due diligence to the adverse attorney of that election. ★
