[rickierich]

Could anyone give me some laws about lying through omission. Perjury etc. Case law if any barristers know of any.

The question is far too wide.

The question is far too wide.

And not anything to do with employment law?

As explained the last time the OP asked almost the same question!

If this is an essay - how can anyone point you in the right direction on such a wide question? And you would know that the point of an essay is that you do the work?

I have lots of answers. You have been told that the question is too wide to answer. If you cannot understand that answer, perhaps you are on the wrong course? But since you cannot be either sensible or polite about it, you won't be getting any help even if you can now define what you are talking about.

I believe that in the criminal court, there are sanctions under contempt rules for the withholding of pertinent information by either side which may pervert the course of justice.

In a civil court the rules of evidence are slightly different in that the parties are only asked to prove/support their pleadings with evidence.

Don't know if that helps.

Yes it does, can you expand on the civil side what would count as supporting evidence. Cause it is almost like you are saying you can lie through omission so long as. There is not evidence to support otherwise.

Civil law judgments are pretty much based around the pleadings, if an action is not pleaded it is rarely raised on the courts own initiative(rarely). This is because the court is not deciding matters of blame or criminality, actions generally involve damages which can either be show or not.

If you take the disclosure rules for instance, in the first instance the other side can only be asked to disclose maters raised within their particulars of claim, not all matters in relation to the claim, and I would say that the subsequent action generally only involves those disclosures.

These are only my opinions by the way, I am not a lawyer, but perhaps others may comment, there are people on here who are.

Re: Lying through omission laws

Just as an additional point. I have seen many civil cases lost because the defendant failed to plead a particular point, sometimes the judge even points out the fatal omission.
But the court still decides on the evidence pleaded, irrespective of the rights or wrongs of the issues, it is all down to the relative parties and how they present their evidence it seems.

I'd sue 'em.

The charm school, that is.
