Leave to apply for judicial review refused because the applicant's complaints fall squarely within statutory remedies (election petition under s61/s62 or disqualification proceedings under s73), the applicant as a single elector could obtain the requisite standing to bring an election petition and therefore lacks sufficient justification to circumvent the statutory scheme by JR, and the contention that the Returning Officer had no legal power to accept the nomination was not reasonably arguable; consequently JR was not an appropriate or available remedy and leave was denied.
