election court
An election court is, in United Kingdom election law, a special court convened to hear a petition against the result of a local government or parliamentary election. The court is created to hear the individual case, and ceases to exist when it has made its decision.
== Statutory basis ==
Election courts are governed by the Representation of the People Act 1983.〔(Representation of the People Act 1983 ) official text at legislation.gov.uk〕 They are overseen by a rota of High Court (in England and Wales) or Court of Session (in Scotland) judges.
The election court is established following the presentation, to the High Court or Court of Session, of an election petition challenging the result of the election. The constitution of the court differs depending on whether the election being challenged is for a seat on a local council or in Parliament. In the case of a parliamentary election, the court comprises two of the High Court or Court of Session judges who are on the rota.〔(Section 123 )〕〔 - limited preview available on (Google Books )〕 In the case of a local government election in England and Wales, the judges appoint an experienced barrister as a commissioner to hear the case.〔(Section 130 )〕〔 - limited preview available on (Google Books )〕 In the case of a council election in Scotland, the case is heard by one or more sheriff principals.〔(Section 134 )〕 The Court sits in the parliamentary constituency, or in the local government area, in question. The election court ceases to exist when the case is concluded.〔Per Robert Goff LJ in R v Cripps ex p Muldoon () 1 QB 68, confirmed by the Court of Appeal in 〕
