Perjury generally involves knowingly making a false statement under oath or affirmation about a material or relevant matter in an official proceeding. The best answer is C because the false statement must be relevant or material to the proceeding. Option A is too broad because statements to opposing counsel are not automatically perjury unless made under oath in an authorized proceeding, such as a deposition, and satisfy the other elements. Option B is incomplete because not every false statement in court establishes perjury; the statement must be made knowingly, under oath, and concern a relevant or material matter. Option D is incorrect because statements to one’s attorney before litigation are not perjury. Therefore, relevance to the proceeding is a required element.

To confirm ownership of a building, real estate and permit records are most useful. The Manual notes that real property records and related permits identify the owner, provide legal descriptions, and show improvements such as construction of commercial buildings. Court or voter registration records would not typically establish property ownership.

The correct answer is A. The CFE Manual explains that to recover for intentional infliction of emotional distress, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant engaged in extreme and outrageous conduct, that the defendant acted intentionally or recklessly, and that the victim actually suffered emotional or mental distress as a result of the defendant’s conduct. These core elements match options B, C, and D.

There is no general requirement that the distress must have lasted for at least two years. That time-based condition is not one of the recognized elements listed in the CFE Law section. The Manual instead focuses on the nature of the conduct and the causal connection between that conduct and the victim’s injury. It also notes that the conduct must be sufficiently outrageous to exceed the bounds tolerated by civilized society and that mere insults or ordinary upset are not enough. Additionally, the Manual emphasizes that actionable claims require proof of serious, visible, and provable harm. Still, none of those requirements impose a fixed minimum duration such as two years. Accordingly, A is the only choice that is not a required element of this common law tort.
