TAYLOR & ORS v DAVIS & ORS [2014] NZHC 2986
- Citation
- [2014] NZHC 2986
- Court
- High Court
Section 232(3) of the Electoral Act 1993 is mandatory and unqualified; the Election Petition Rules exclude application of High Court Rules to permit an extension; therefore the Court had no jurisdiction to extend time for giving security and, because security was not given in time, no further proceedings could be taken and the petition is at an end.
