    Yes. We call that discovery issues and if judge has reasonable belief about malicious intent you get into sanctions which can contain contempt charges and referrals to the bar.

    Or to put it simpler: if he doesn’t, he lied, and that’s a bad look. If he does, there’s a chance he loses his law license, goes to jail, or jeopardizes his case even after the fact.
