Regina v Commissioner of Election Court ex parte Loveridge: Admn 23 Nov 1995

The applicant had been found in contravention of the law requiring him not to take part in a broadcast within a short period before the election. He had given the interview some days before, and did not know when, or give thought to when, it might be broadcast. He claimed the broadcast had been made without his consent. The commissioner concluded that he had clearly consented when giving the interview, and that the intention was to assist his prospects at the election. That judgment was clearly within the realms of the reasonable, and should not be set aside.
