That's for lying, and I've never heard of anyone going to court over it.
Omitting isn't the same. If you ask for references, I probably won't list people who will give me a bad reference, either.

In the US employment is at will and can be terminated for cause or no cause at all, no need to go to court. Omitting important facts about employment history can be in violation of company policies. Some telecoms ask you to explicitly submit information for "employment history verification" as a condition of employment.
You can easily lie by omission.. The root of it is deceitful intentions.
