Section 332 — Crimes Act 1961: Indictment for perjury or fraud

332 Indictment for perjury or fraud (1) No count charging perjury, the making of a false oath or of a false statement, or the fabrication of evidence, or procuring the commission of any of those crimes, shall be deemed insufficient on the ground that it does not state the nature or the authority of the tribunal before which the oath or statement was taken or made, or the subject of the inquiry, or the words used, or the evidence fabricated, or that it does not expressly negative the truth of the words used; but the Court may order that the prosecutor shall furnish further particulars in writing of what is relied on in support of the charge. (2) No count charging any false pretence, or any fraud, or any attempt or conspiracy by fraudulent means, shall be deemed insufficient because it does not set out in detail in what the false pretence, or the fraud, or the fraudulent means consisted; but the Court may order that the prosecutor shall furnish further particulars in writing of those matters, or any of them.
