CRIMINAL CODE 2002 - SECT 727

Alternative verdicts—aggravated perjury and perjury

    (1)     This section applies if, in a prosecution for an offence against section 702 (Aggravated perjury), the trier of fact is not satisfied that the defendant committed the offence but is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant committed an offence against section 703 (Perjury).

    (2)     The trier of fact may find the defendant guilty of the offence against section 703, but only if the defendant has been given procedural fairness in relation to that finding of guilt.
