Annotations

Flynote

Elections – recount of ballots – ZEC's refusal to order recount – application to Electoral Court for review of ZEC's decision – whether ZEC's decision subject to review – what applicant must establish on review – need to show reasonable grounds for belief that votes were previously miscounted

Review – application – failure to state grounds of review – application normally fatally defective – when court may nonetheless entertain application – public interest as a reason to deal with case on merits
