Abstract
On August 19th, 2016 the Honourable Justice Dean-Armorer issued her 55 page decision in the election petition cases. The petitions were denied and the 2015 elections upheld. Commentators were quick to decry Justice Dean-Armorer’s reasoning as being “confused” and “biased”. With all due respect to those social media lawyers (some with law degrees, many without), Justice Dean-Armourer’s reasoning is rigorous and balanced. A summary of her ruling is set out herein.
