Editing Perjury (section)

=====Judicial proceeding=====

The definition in section 1(2) is not "comprehensive".<ref name="Archbold Criminal Pleading 1999">[[Archbold Criminal Pleading, Evidence and Practice]]. 1999. Paragraph 28-159 at page 2303.</ref>

The book ''[[Archbold Criminal Pleading, Evidence and Practice|Archbold]]'' says that it appears to be immaterial whether the court before which the statement is made has jurisdiction in the particular cause in which the statement is made, because there is no express requirement in the Act that the court be one of "competent jurisdiction" and because the definition in section 1(2) does not appear to require this by implication either.<ref name="Archbold Criminal Pleading 1999"/>
