Kiron’s feedback is spot on. I think your choices are limited at this point and you’re best course of action is to follow what Kiron mentioned.

Maybe before you go to the extreme measure, try to talk to the member and ask him or her why she is doing this. You might be surprised, but sometimes you might get to the root cause by confronting the person in a constructive manner.

Tony,
One thing that I will add to the great advice above is that if you think they are deliberately lying to you, make sure you document your communications with them. Save their emails, and after you have discussions, write down what they said in as much detail as you can. If you must elevate the issue, that will be much better supporting evidence of your claims than your memory.

I had a recent experience where I am confident someone was deliberately lying to me. Once they realized that I was taking careful notes, their behavior changed quickly. They could not later claim, "I never said that." because they knew the response could be, "You said it on this date in this meeting and also in this email that I saved."

That is also not calling them a liar. Stating facts does not say whether the other person intentionally lied, misspoke, or their memory is wrong. Any argument is then limited to the facts of what they said, and avoids your personal perception of what their intent was when saying it.
Hi Keith Novak:

thanks for sharing your experience, you are right, we should take care others felling and try to find the best way to solve the problem.

Hi Conte:
you are right, i should to understand that's my circumstance, do my best to the project.
thanks
You are welcome. When I stated "you" (because I cited Ortega y Gasset) I tried to refer to the person that you said is laying. The organization must take care on creating the circunstance at the first time then each of us, if we are leading a group, must do the same. People do not behave in a way without a reason. Remember the "action-reaction" . So, my recommendation is trying to understand the environment first without putting all the focus on the people.
