Question: 1 / 400

What is it called when someone procures another to lie under oath?

Forgery

Libel

Subornation of Perjury

Procuring someone to lie under oath is a form of tampering with the court process, which is known as subornation of perjury. This option specifically refers to the act of persuading or inducing someone to commit perjury (lying under oath), which is considered a criminal offense. Forgery (option A) involves the creation or alteration of a document in order to deceive or defraud someone, but it is not necessarily tied to lying under oath. Libel (option B) refers to a written defamatory statement, rather than a verbal statement made under oath. Contempt of court (option D) generally refers to a willful disobedience or disrespect towards the court or its officers, rather than actively procuring someone to lie under oath. In summary, subornation of perjury (option C) is the most accurate description for the scenario described.
