Applicant's failure to file on time amounted to inadvertence rather than bad faith because he had read the election guidelines (albeit not carefully), his misconception that receipts were required was understandable given the wording of the guidelines and the statute was not expressed clearly as to nil-expenditure returns; the court therefore exercised its discretion under s.40(1)/(2) to extend time and ordered the return to be lodged by 31 July 2003.
