falsify a judgment

falsify a judgment
Formally to declare against the court for having rendered a false or erroneous judgment. This liberty was allowed by the Assizes of Jerusalem, but the person availing himself of it was obliged to fight all the members of the court including both judges and suitors, one after another. The privilege was seldom claimed.
