Western Australian Current Regulations Western Australian Current Regulations A petition may be
withdrawn by leave of the Court or a Judge upon such terms as the Court or a
Judge may think fit. Unless the Court or a Judge shall otherwise order, 10
days’ notice of the intention to apply for leave shall be given to the
respondent, and by advertisement in a newspaper circulating generally in the
State, or in the district for which the election was held, as the case
requires, and at the hearing of the application the Court or a Judge may allow
any other person who was competent to present a petition on the like grounds
to be substituted for the petitioner. The proceedings upon the petition shall
thereupon be continued as if the person so substituted had been the original
petitioner.
