affidavit

[asof2005]

if you fight a PPO and win based on the fact that is is lies, will the person who wrote the affidavit get in trouble for lying or will they just ignore it?

[Gestalt]

They will usually not just automatically get in trouble. IF they get in any trouble it is usually because the other party sues them for defamation or something along those lines.

They should but they often don't.  It's a crime to make unsworn falsifications to authorities and yet - those who make them almost never are sanctioned for doing so.
