Article 103 Special case for determination of High CourtI1

If any party to a Senedd election petition makes an application as prescribed to the High Court, and it appears to the court that the petition can be conveniently stated as a special case, the court may direct the case to be stated as such.

A special case must be heard by the High Court.

The High Court must certify its decision on the special case to the Presiding Officer of the Senedd, who must publish any such certificate received.

If it appears to the election court on the trial of a Senedd election petition that any question of law as to the admissibility of evidence or otherwise requires further consideration by the High Court, the election court may postpone the granting of a certificate until the question has been determined by the High Court, and for this purpose may reserve the question by stating a case for the decision of the High Court.
