- Court of Appeal
Sections 12 and 19 of the Bill of Rights Act can be read compatibly; the Attorney-General did not discharge the burden under s5 to justify the exclusion of 16–17 year olds from the franchise as a reasonable demonstrably justified limit, but the Court exercised restraint and declined to grant declarations of inconsistency; appeal dismissed.
