The reasons for circumscribing interlocutory orders in that way are not hard to discern. First, there is the importance of the result to the parties. If a decision does not fi
nally determine the substantive rights of the parties, they live to fight another day. To lose the interlocutory battle is not to lose the substantive war. Conversely, if the decision finally disposes of the substantive rights of the parties the outcome i
s critical to them. Subject to monetary minimums, the latter justifies appeals as of right and more time within which to consider one. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15621843\charrsid14947471

Thirdly, decisions which do not finally determine the substantive rights of the parties are normally subsumed in the final judgment and are the
refore indirectly appealable if they have affected the substantive outcome. This too is justification for circumscribing appeals from interlocutory decisions. The converse applies if the decision finally determines substantive rights. If there is to be an
 appeal at all in those circumstances, it must be an appeal against that decision.

Fourthly, there is the risk that the unqualified right to appeal from every interlocutory order might produce unacceptable delay in the action as a whole, especially if full
 time limits are allowed. Many interlocutory matters of a procedural and ancillary nature may arise during the life cycle of an action. The delays produced by appeals on such matters can be cumulative.

s case. It was based upon all allegation t
hat Mr Pirangi was the proprietor of a rental car business, and had on two occasions prior to the general election allowed rental cars from his firm to be hired to a Mrs Knowles, a voter in the Ruaau constituency, at favourable terms under circumstances w
h
ich would lead one to the inference that this action was done with the corrupt intention of influencing her vote in favour of Mr Pirangi. After a comparatively brief hearing I decided that these allegations were not made out and dismissed that side of the
 
petition. Mr Ingram however maintained that he was still entitled to pursue his cross allegations against Mr Solomona. This to me was a somewhat novel suggestion, but after an examination of the Electoral Act and listening to submissions I concluded it wa
s
 well founded. In particular section 74 subsection (1) allows any candidate to demand an inquiry as to the conduct of the election or of any candidate and this Mr Napa had done. Section 74 sub-paragraph (4) proviso, also indicates that at such an inquiry,
 
evidence may be given, not only concerning alleged misconduct by the elected candidate but of mis-conduct of a rejected candidate. I say now in anticipation of what will emerge later that one thinks that this was primarily aimed at allowing a successful c
a
ndidate whose conduct has been attacked to show that his challenger has also been guilty of misconduct so that in the event that the successful man is disqualified, the Court would not, as it is entitled to do in certain circumstances, substitute the unsu
c
cessful man, but should also disqualify him for misconduct and order that the seat be declared void. This, in the ordinary connotation relates to the one-to-one election situation. But Mr Ingram is quite right when he says that the inquiry may be in respe
c
t of the conduct of any candidate so that the conduct of a second or third or fourth rejected candidate can be put under scrutiny to see whether malpractice has occurred and just to anticipate, one would stage an examination of later sections which will r
equire careful analysis to see what are the powers of court if as in the present instance, Mr Pirangi as the successful candidate has been absolved from misconduct but if, as I shall consider, Mr Napa}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

ropriate to observe here that the margin of votes between Mr Pirangi, Mr Solomona and Mr Napa was not great. In saying that misconduct had not been proved against Mr Pirangi I had expressly said: "Insofar as the present proceedings before the court, are a
i
med at a declaration of electoral malpractice by Mr Pirangi they have failed, but that is not the end of the matter. We have now to look into the allegations made of Mr Napa against Mr Solomona". As that then became a continuation of the Section 74(1) enq
u
iry all the powers under Section 79 remained available. Indeed it was apparent that the sole purpose of the continuation of the inquiry was to seek a declaration that the seat was void, for there was no room for a declaration that Mr Napa had been elected

It might seem to the fair minded citizen that it is an odd process that a successful candidate, Mr. Pirangi, in respect of whom a challenge of misconduct has been not proved should still have the electoral declaration in his favour put in peril by allega
tions of one unsuccessful candidate against another. That is one point of view. But equally one unsuccessful candidate can be properly be heard to say that he has had less than a fair deal if the misconduct of another unsuccessful candidate has }{

s which may well have been sufficient to have had him elected, especially as here where each candidate polled well. It is a troublesome matter and one must not try to decide the rights and wrongs in it by some undefined sense of fair play but by paying ca

157. The duty imposed on the Court is onerous, but is the decision of the Parliament. The breadth of the duty and the resources provided for the execution of the duty might be matters for consideration when and if the Court makes special report
 in accordance with the provisions of s120. But it is clear that the legislation is intended to deal with corruption generally as well as illegal practices and not permit its exposure and concealment to remain the province of the respective parties.

There are cogent further reasons requiring the conclusion that dismissal of the original petition (through a "no case" or ultimate finding) does not automatically result in the dismissal of the counter petition. The trial includes consideration of allegat
ions made by the respondent (s111(6)). A second reason is the potential consequence that a challenging unsuccessful candidate may himself or herself be disqualified from presenting as a candidate at the following election.

160. There are no existing rules or statutory provisions governing the time limits and procedures for the filing of counter petitions. Indeed the Act does not use the p
hrase "counter petition". In our opinion they are matters which ought be addressed either by Parliament or possibly by the Head of State acting on the advice of Cabinet pursuant to s.136 of the Act. Those matters will be the subject of a special report ma
