332: Indictment for perjury or fraud

You could also call this:

“This used to be about how to officially charge someone for lying in court or cheating, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law, called ‘Indictment for perjury or fraud’, used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961. However, it no longer exists. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. If you need information about perjury (lying under oath) or fraud, you’ll need to look at other parts of the law that are still in effect.
