You need to:
1. advise the other side that the witness testimony is false and demand they not call the witness.
2. file a motion to disqualify the witness.
3. if the judge still lets the witness be called, you need to impeach the witness: your testimony is this? when they say it is, then introduce the document that contradicts the witness. once introed, as the witness to read the document and then ask them if they were telling the truth.
good luck
