In her written submissions, Mrs Browne submitted that in determining the level of costs payable, regard must be given t\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
o the Electoral Act 2004 (the Act) and its policy considerations and the Judicature Act 1980-81 (the Judicature Act). She referred in particular to s 93 of the Act which provided that in fixing security for costs, the Court shall have regard to the costs 
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 w\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 hich the respondent will probably incur, and the words of s 101 of the Act. [Mrs Browne's emphasis.]

Mrs Browne submitted that the policy behind the Act was to prevent and discourage frivolous petitions by fixing security in line with what will proba\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
bly be incurred (on an indemnity basis) in circumstances where, if petitions have been filed frivolously and without sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegations, then there would be sufficient funds to cover the respondent's costs. The idea was to
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
discourage the filing of frivolous and groundless petitions. More importantly however if costs were not done in this manner then candidates would be reluctant to come forward and be nominated as they could be subject to large legal costs in defending a pe

\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 o\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 urt that the filing of petitions on groundless allegations would not be tolerated. She submitted that this was one such occasion.

As the inquiry did not get to the stage of a Court hearing where the grounds of the petition and cross-petition were investigated by the Court, it is handicapped in deciding whether any costs were caused by vexatious\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 conduct, unfounded allegations, or unfounded objections, or any needless expenses were incurred or caused on the part of either the petitioner or the first respondent. I therefore decide these aspects on the basis of the documents filed, the steps taken 
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 i\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 n the inquiry, and the submissions on costs.

o the limited time of 7 days that the petitioner had to prepare and file his petition, and the difficulties of doing so within that time because of the remoteness of Manihiki. Also that both the petitioner and the first respondent withdrew some grounds as

the inquiry developed when they became aware that such grounds were not as soundly based as they believed when the petition or cross-petition was filed. I also take into account that both parties were apparently willing to proceed with the then remaining

rounds at a hearing in mid-November. Further, that the petitioner sought to have the evidence of four people who could not attend the December hearing in Manihiki either taken in Rarotonga or presented in affidavit form. He filed two affidavits, had the e
