What oaths shall bind

In all cases in which an oath may lawfully be, and is, administered to any person, either as a juryman or a witness or a deponent in any proceeding, civil or criminal, in any court in Belize, or on appointment to any office or employment, or on any occasion whatever, such person is bound by the oath administered, provided the same is administered in such form and with such ceremonies as such person may declare to be binding, and every such person in case of wilful false swearing may be convicted of the crime of perjury in the same manner 19 as if the oath had been administered in the form and with the ceremonies most commonly adopted.
