The former Fe

MARCUS EINFELD'S eyes remained fixed on his black tasselled loafers as a magistrate announced there was "ample evidence" to commit him to stand trial for perjury and perverting the course of justice over a series of traffic offences.

The former Federal Court judge will now face trial in the District Court next year over 13 charges relating to making false statutory declarations and lying to a court to avoid liability for four traffic offences dating back to 1999, when he was still a judge.
