Original Note:
"Civil perjury is certainly illegal, but rarely prosecuted", like in Depp v. Heard. Perjury is persued in criminal cases, or civil cases where the government is prosecuting. In pure civil cases, lawyers want liable defendants out of jail making money to pay the judgment. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/perjury030398.htm https://slate.com/news-and-politics/1998/08/is-civil-perjury-punishable.html
