A DUBLIN man is facing trial accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice by giving false evidence in a personal injuries claim.
Peter Slattery (45) appeared in court charged with giving false or misleading information in sworn evidence and statements during a civil court action in 2017.
He was granted bail at Dublin District Court and the case against him was adjourned for the preparation of a book of evidence.
Mr Slattery, with an address at Racecourse Green, Lusk, Co Dublin is charged with two offences under the Civil Liability and Courts Act.
The first alleges that on October 23, 2017, he gave evidence at a personal injury action in Dublin Circuit Civil Court that was false or misleading in a material aspect.
