False Evidence and Offences Against Public Justice
Issuing or signing a legally required certificate (or one admissible in evidence), knowing/believing it materially false, is punished the same as giving false evidence.
This extends false-evidence liability to issuing a materially false official certificate, treating it as equivalent to lying in testimony.
A professional who signs a certificate they know contains a materially false statement, knowing it may be used as legal evidence, is liable the same as if they had directly given false testimony.
