Sorry, I meant legal. This case is in Ontario, Canada. The lawyer has evidence that proves that all allegations are false and are purely vindictive. Personally I think that the "liar" in this situation should pay a penalty for perjury.

If the claims are known false, the person making them can be sued for making such "bad faith" claims.
And yes, perjury applies to sworn affidavits.

I believe you would have a winning case in a court of law. The person can also be charged with causing emotional stress for the other person too. I believe once a liar always a liar too. Hope you give this person what they deserve and justice is met out promptly and with the severity it merits.

yes, they should be held for pergury and contempt of court, and all claims should be backed up with proof.
