Article 91 Constitution of election court and place of trialI1

A Senedd election petition must be tried by an election court consisting of two judges on the rota for the trial of parliamentary election petitions.

The judges on the rota must, unless they agree otherwise, try any Senedd election petitions standing for trial according to their seniority.

Subject to the provisions of this Order, the election court has the same powers, jurisdiction and authority as a judge of the High Court and is a court of record.

The place of trial must be within the Senedd constituency for which the election was held, but the High Court may appoint an alternative place for the trial if it is satisfied that special circumstances render it desirable for the Senedd election petition to be tried elsewhere.

The election court may adjourn the trial from one place to another within the Senedd constituency.
