Court found no credible evidence that Or authorized the Takungpao publication; the statements in Or's leaflets were not materially false or misleading for the purposes of s26 given the factual context and therefore did not contravene s26; s26(4) defence is available in election petitions and was made out in respect of one reasonable meaning; the Association's leaflet was not shown to be generally prevalent under s49(1)(a)(iii); accordingly Or was duly elected and the petition failed.
