The advertised Stokes Valley election of 21 March 2006 was valid and authorised nomination of District representatives; the subsequent unadvertised alternative election was invalid; the expulsion under s22(a) lacked procedural fairness (no adequate notice or opportunity to be heard) and is quashed; invalidating the District Executive was unnecessary and disproportionate.
