Ewa Myrczek podaje: obstructing justice - matactwo, przeszkadzanie wymiarowi sprawiedliwoście więc może tak?

I know there are provisions in the Bill regarding spurious claims. I would like to think that someone who is charged with an offence and who tries to stall, delay or obstruct a case by making an unjustified complaint, should face an additional sentence which would be consecutive rather than concurrent.

to muddle up the case


Explanation:
Miałem kiedyś coś takiego: "mataczenie" i "utrudnianie śledztwa" obok siebie. "Obstruction" zarezerwowałem dla utrudniania, ale czym różni się mataczenie od utrudniania do dziś nie za bardzo rozumiem. Wybrnąłem tworząc "an attempt to muddle up the case"
