Reference for Shevuot 61:9

מנין לשלשה שנושין מנה באחד שלא יהא אחד בעל דין ושנים עדים כדי שיוציאו מנה ויחלוקו ת"ל מדבר שקר תרחק

- Because it is said: From a false matter keep far. And how do we know that, if one has a claim of a hundred zuzim against his neighbour, and sues for two hundred, the debtor should not say, 'I will deny it totally in court, but admit it outside the court, so that I should no be liable for an oath, and he may not impose on me an oath from another place'?
