The court found the authorisation had been signed before the election, the failure to serve it on the Returning Officer was an inadvertent omission by delegated agents without bad faith, and it was just to grant relief under s31(2); accordingly relief was granted to the affected applicants (the 1st and 7th plaintiffs) from penalties and disqualification.
