A person who knowingly gives false testimony in court is guilty of the crime of perjury. Even if the person has not been deposed or sworn in the traditional sense, the law presumes all such testimony given to be done so under oath and under the penalty of perjury. Perjury is a serious offense and if found guilty the person can be incarcerated and/or fined under state or federal law. Under federal guidelines if convicted the penalty is a maximum of 5 years in a federal facility and a $5,000 fine. States establish their own laws concerning the offense.

No Court is higher than the current Supreme Court.

However, in older cases, the "Supreme Court" it refers to may be the equivalent of the current "High Court", as it was called then. In that case the Court of Appeal and Privy Council were higher authority.

Clearing codes are used for international bank transfers. The clearing code for National Bank of New Zealand is NZ02nnnn where "nnnn" represents the four digit branch code. This varies from one branch to another.

It all had to do with the English system of government against which the colonists rebelled. The English "mother country" relied on Aristotle's philosophical system of three types of government based upon the three types of people: a monarchy of the one, a aristocracy of the few, and a democracy of the many. Under the classical system, a monarchy that was corrupt and had lost its "virtue" (common welfare) would degenerate into a tyranny, an aristocracy that was corrupt would degenerate into an oligarchy, and a democracy that was corrupt would degenerate into an anarchy. The English tried to prevent degeneration by creating a government based upon the "three-legged stool" analogy: an effective government was one in which the monarchy (the King), the aristocracy (the House of Lords), and the democracy (the House of Commons) watched each other so that all the types of people would watch for a prevent degeneration in the others. This watchfulness is sometimes referred to as "vigilance" by the English revolution writers of the seventeenth century.

The House of Commons eventually evolved into a legislative body, the House of Lords served as a "wise old men" judicial function, and the King was to fulfill a mostly executive role. Therefore, the English had a governmental system that provided for checks and balances and a type of separation of powers. (There were, of course, many disagreements over the centuries about the functions of the three types of government, but that's another question.)

When the American colonists rebelled in 1776, they initially established a type of government that was based solely on the many. The Articles of Confederation, in effect from the Revolution until the adoption of the Constitution, was a national government in which each of the states were equally represented. Under the Articles, all legislative, executive, and judicial functions were performed by the Confederation Congress. And, by the way, the Articles could only be amended if all of the thirteen states agreed to change them. The American revolutionaries did not initially think that there was a need for the vigilance provided by the three-legged stool model because, being independent republican landholders, they were more virtuous than the English. There was, also, a lack of aristocrats in the colonies in the monarchy was only represented in the form of colonial governors. However, government function under the Articles of Confederation proved to be impossible; there were, indeed, some people in government who were not totally virtuous and the whole system appeared to be spiraling toward anarchy.

During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the founding fathers sought a government that would provide checks and balances and the separation of powers but that did not rely on bodies that represented different types of people. They did not want to establish either an aristocracy or a monarchy. The Constitution is an amazing document in that it accomplishes this task; it provides for separation of powers between the different houses of congress, the presidency, and the judiciary. However, it does not rely upon simple virtue to accomplish a system of checks and balances. Each of the branches has its sovereignly only in the many. In theory, this type of democracy, will not degenerate into anarchy.

In Wellington. If you lived in Wellington and you went to Victoria university you could catch the cable car there unlike Christchurch when you would have to catch a bus and transfer

The alcohol would be confiscated. You would be reported to your parents.

Yes, New Zealand teenagers are allowed BB guns that are not very high velocity (e.g gas or electric). Most leading brands will have an age limit for their BB guns and that will still be a factor if you are trying to buy one.

Theres no regulations barring diaries, however uttign down operational information is discouraged, and if the dairies can be captured or stolen while on operational deloyment the soldiers involved can be charged and brought to trial on charges of providing aid or information to the enemy. As such soldiers with dairies tend to only ut do information dealing with what has been done, not what they are preparing for.

For further informationyou can check at www.army.mil.nz for the public relations or information officers, there will be an email address somewhere there.

Federalism in the United States has three branches which include the executive, judicial, and legislative. The constitution of the United States outlines the powers of each branch and has an established checks and balances system in place for these branches of government. This is done so that the overall control of the country is left in the hands of the people and not one individual person or group within the government. The legislative branch makes the rules, the executive branch carries out the rules, and the judicial branch holds all accountable for following the laws.

Yes you can, as long is the packaging is done correctly of the product and the jar of honey has NOT been opened and the seal of the jar is NOT been broken.

That depends on what you are looking for and where you are emigrating from. Costa Rica and some well chosen parts of Mexico have become quite popular with Americans wanting to retire abroad. Most Americans are likely to find Western Europe expensive. Britons have a soft spot for Spain and Greece, and some of those who want to live cheaply emigrate to Bulgaria. Denmark and Switzerland are widely rated #1 and #2 ... but the Swiss are very choosy about granting residence permits.

It depends on the type of property recovered. There is no law, for example, regarding the return of cash since it is nearly impossible to determine whose cash has been recovered. Most laws in New Zealand concernng property, though, give rights to a person who lost property (such as an animal or a recognizable chattel) to sue for restitution if they can demonstrate former ownership of that property. As a result, it is usually not advised to take someone else's property.

It is not illegal for a minor to consume alcohol, but it is illegal to sell alcohol to a minor.

It is illegal for a minor to be supplied with alcohol unless it is by a parent or legal guardian and it is to be drunk at a private gathering. It is also illegal for a minor to have or to drink alcohol in a public place unless they are with a parent or legal guardian.

The reason New Zealand law allows this drinking by minors, is that the parents or legal guardians are deemed to be responsible for the minors.

The short answer is no, unless you have a firearms collector's licence. A fully automatic weapon is a restricted weapon and unless you have the correct licence you are not allowed to import them or own them. The collector's licence is difficult to get and restrictive.

Well, New Zealand made Marmite is the product. The laws in Denmark are not new - it is merely the interpretation of them that has changed.

Denmark has always been able to make this distinction - it is just recently that it has done so. The issue concerns foodstuffs with increased vitamin fortification.

Yes, New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. The Queen is New Zealand's Head of State and she is represented by the Governor-General. The Governor-General performs all the tasks associated with the head of state of New Zealand, some people call this position the "de facto head of state".
