As with you, the key problem is proving reliance. There would also be a S/L problem with any civil action, but it could be avoided by a claim that the facts have only just become known. Interestingly there is no S/L on perjury here, because it's a major crime (you can cop up to 15 years). Not that he committed perjury here. He may have told some punishable fibs to Customs, which would come back to bite him on the bum if he ever again lands in Oz. |

How is it nonsense? If you believe that they had the technology to land a man on the moon then it should not be that difficult to believe that they had the technology to fake it. Unless you been there on the moon personally, you will never know if it is possible to get there and back alive.

He could have committed perjury in the filing of the suit. Not sure of the specifics here, especially in the UK, but many court documents are signed under penalty of perjury, regardless of if they ever see the inside of a courtroom.
