Perjury and False Statements

It is critical that you tell the truth if you are going to court for a legal matter.

Perjury, which is a serious criminal offence with potentially harsh penalties, can be charged if you do not tell the truth in court.

Perjury is a criminal accusation in NSW that is brought against someone who is accused of intentionally misleading the course of justice by lying under oath in court.

You will be asked to swear an oath or provide an affirmation to tell the truth while making any form of statement in court.

The form of the oath you swear or affirm, as well as the ceremony surrounding it, may vary, but if you are found to be lying after you have sworn this oath or affirmation, you might be charged with perjury.
