Does Anyone Recognise This Phrase Please,

'If enough evidence of perjury and false evidence is found the judgement should be set aside'

I forgot to note the source down when I discovered it. I think maybe CPR or Practice Directions maybe.

Thanks all.

Google the phrase and see the Editor's Note article in the Sweet And MAxwell Review

[Peter Pedant]

3N perjury is technical - Perjury Act 1906
the hurdle is high - there has to be an independent witness to the act complained of

IN R v Adomako a medical manslaughter case, a nurse said Dr A was drinking milk in the ward kitchen when he had said he was with a patient.
There could be no prosecution for perjury because there was no other witness to back up the statement.


You will have noticed people lie every day but there are very few prosecutions for perjury

Thanks PP, the context initially of the perjury I mention is the evidence adduced late that is provably false by comparison to 'real evidence' in the trial and that is 'fraud of the party' to me anyway. It could only be construed as an attempt to mislead the court and that is perverting the course of justice in my humble opinion since it succeeded in that objective ?

Your solicitor will be able to advise on this- or are you representing yourself?

I'm afraid they're part of the problem as I see it and I would not have them anywhere near this case at this late stage. So yes I am a L.I.P. (as we used to be called) at present.
