LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Is Brian Sullivan abusing the legal system, or is he crusading for the rights of disabled Americans? Sullivan uses lawsuits - dozens and dozens of them - to force local businesses to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

But in order to accomplish this, Sullivan committed fraud. According to court documents, Sullivan lied about how many lawsuits he's filed in a year. He checked a box indicating he has not filed more than 12 other claims within the past 12 months. That's clearly not true. But by lying, Sullivan gets a break on court fees.

Isn't that perjury?

It's only perjury if he did it under oath.  Though it might be fraud.
