in the case of a petition questioning an election under the local government Act, such amount not exceeding £2,500 as the High Court, or a judge of the High Court, directs on an application made by the petitioner,

5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
6
An objection to a recognisance shall be decided in the prescribed manner.
7
If the objection is allowed, the petitioner may within a further prescribed time . . . , remove it by a deposit in the prescribed manner of such sum of money as will, in the opinion of the court or officer having cognisance of the matter, make the security sufficient.
8
If no security is given as required by this section or any objection is allowed and not removed as mentioned above, no further proceedings shall be had on the petition.

Petition at issue.
137
1
The petition shall be at issue as from the relevant time, as defined by subsection (2) below.
2
In this section “
the relevant time
” means—
a
where the petitioner gives the security for costs required by section 136 above by a deposit of money equal to the amount of the security so required, the time when the security is so given; and
b
in any other case, the time when—
i
the time prescribed for the making of objections under section 136(4) above expires, or
ii
if such an objection is made, that objection is disallowed or removed,
whichever happens later.

List of petitions.
138
1
The prescribed officer shall—
a
as soon as may be, make out a list of all election petitions at issue presented to the court of which he is officer, placing them in the order in which they were presented, and

The petitions shall, so far as convenient, be tried in the order in which they stand in the list.
3
In the case of a petition questioning an election under the local government Act, two or more candidates may be made respondents to the same petition, and their cases may be tried at the same time, but for the purposes of this Part of this Act the petition shall be deemed to be a separate petition against each respondent.
4
Where more petitions than one are presented relating to the same election or to elections under the local government Act held at the same time for more than one electoral area in the same local government area, all those petitions shall be bracketed together in the election list and shall be dealt with as one petition, standing, unless the High Court otherwise direct, in the election list in the place where the last of them would have stood if it had been the only petition presented.

3
The trial of a parliamentary election petition shall be proceeded with notwithstanding the acceptance by the respondent of an office vacating his seat in Parliament and notwithstanding the prorogation of Parliament; and the trial of a petition questioning an election under the local government Act shall be proceeded with notwithstanding that the respondent has ceased to hold the office his election to which is questioned by the petition.
4
On the trial of a petition, unless the court otherwise directs, any charge of a corrupt practice may be gone into, and evidence in relation to it received, before any proof has been given of agency on behalf of any candidate in respect of the corrupt practice.
In relation to an election in England and Wales under the local government Act, this subsection applies as if corrupt practices included illegal practices.
5
On the trial of a petition complaining of an undue election and claiming the seat or office for some person, the respondent may give evidence to prove that that person was not duly elected, in the same manner as if he had presented a petition against the election of that person.
6
If the petition relates to an election conducted under the parliamentary elections rules or the rules under section 36 , section 36A or section 42 above and it appears that there is an equality of votes between any candidates at the election, and that the addition of a vote would entitle any of those candidates to be declared elected then—
a
any decision under the provisions as to equality of votes in the parliamentary elections rules or the rules under section 36 , section 36A or section 42, as the case may be, shall in so far as it determines the question between those candidates, be effective also for the purposes of the petition; and
b
in so far as that question is not determined by such a decision, the court shall decide between them by lot and proceed as if the one on whom the lot then falls had received an additional vote.

Witnesses.
140
1
Witnesses shall be summoned and sworn in the same manner as nearly as circumstances admit as in an action tried in the High Court, but this subsection does not apply to Scotland in relation to an election of councillors.

3
The election court may examine any person so required to attend or who is in court although he is not called and examined by any party to the petition.
4
A witness may, after his examination by the court, be cross-examined by or on behalf of the petitioner and respondent, or either of them.
5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
6
The Director of Public Prosecutions shall without any direction from the court cause any person appearing to him to be able to give material evidence as to the subject of the trial to attend the trial and shall, with the leave of the court, examine him as a witness.
7
Subsection (6) above does not apply to Scotland, and in Scotland one of the deputes of the Lord Advocate or the procurator fiscal of the district may, if the Lord Advocate so decides, and shall, if the election court so requests attend the trial of the petition as part of his official duty . . ..

Duty to answer relevant questions.

ii
in Scotland, that person; or
b
on the ground of privilege.
2
An answer by a person to a question put by or before any election court shall not, except in the case of any criminal proceeding for perjury in respect of the evidence, be in any proceeding, civil or criminal, admissible in evidence against—

that person or that person’s spouse or civil partner, ; or
b
in Scotland, that person.
3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 142

Expenses of witnesses.
143
1
The reasonable expenses incurred by any person in appearing to give evidence at the trial of an election petition, according to the scale allowed to witnesses on the trial of civil actions, may be allowed to him by a certificate of the election court or of the prescribed officer.
2
If the witness was called and examined by virtue of section 140(2) above, the expenses referred to in subsection (1) above shall be deemed part of the expenses of providing a court, but otherwise they shall be deemed costs of the petition.
This subsection does not apply to Scotland in relation to an election of councillors.

Conclusion of trial of parliamentary election petition.

1
At the conclusion of the trial of a parliamentary election petition, the election court shall determine whether the member whose election or return is complained of, or any and what other person, was duly returned or elected or whether the election was void, and the determination so certified shall be final to all intents as to the matters at issue on the petition.
2
The election court shall forthwith certify in writing the determination to the Speaker.

5
