This must be narrowly focused on falsity. It could well be difficult to prove something is frivolous in a criminal context and that is why that subsection is focused specifically on falsity whereas the other includes a wider gambit of situations. As I stated regarding a criminal offence, it would apply to the situation where the person knows it to be false.
