2,675. Cases in Which One Isn't Liable for an Oath of Deposit

Hilchos Shevuos 7:2

The previous halacha doesn’t apply if the financial claim is one that would not require the defendant to pay if he were to admit it, such as a claim regarding a fine. (One isn’t required to pay a fine based on his own admission.) If someone denies a claim in such a case, he isn’t liable for violating an oath of deposit, but he is liable for violating an oath of expression.

Hilchos Shevuos 7:3

Similarly, if a person files a claim regarding real estate, a servant or a promissory note, and the defendant denies it with an oath, he isn’t liable for violating an oath of deposit, but he is liable for violating an oath of expression because he made a false oath.
