Dean reads the tea leaves

By Steven | November 18, 2011

Dean Knight has posted on cuppagate. He’s particularly interested in the declaration application. He explains the hurdles faced by the applicant (judicial reluctance to grant declarations when issues are still in dispute and where criminal proceedings can sort things out), and says he thinks the judge should grant one anyway (to protect the integrity of the election).

By the by, he also thinks the parties to the conversation couldn’t reasonably expect not to be overheard.
