Affidavit for Order of Arrest

The order may be made whenever it appears to the judge, by the affidavit of the plaintiff, or some other person, that a sufficient cause of action exists, and that the case is one of those mentioned in § 20102. The affidavit must be positive and not merely upon information and belief. If an order of arrest be made, the affidavit must be filed with the clerk of the court.
