California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Howard v. Drapkin, 222 Cal.App.3d 843, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893 (Cal. App. 1990):
10 One of the cases cited by the Silberg court was Carden v. Getzoff (1987) 190 Cal.App.3d 907, 235 Cal.Rptr. 698, a case from this division. In that case (which also stemmed from a dissolution of marriage matter), the plaintiff sued his former wife's accountant-witness, alleging that the accountant falsified a report which he had prepared and then used that report to give perjured testimony at trial.
