COMMONWEALTH ELECTORAL ACT 1918 - SECT 358

No proceedings unless requirements complied with

  (1)   Subject to subsection   (2), no proceedings shall be had on the petition unless the requirements of sections   355, 356 and 357 are complied with.

  (2)   The Court may, at any time after the filing of a petition and on such terms (if any) as it thinks fit, relieve the petitioner wholly or in part from compliance with paragraph   355(aa).

  (3)   The Court shall not grant relief under subsection   (2) unless it is satisfied that:

  (a)   in spite of the failure of the petition to comply with paragraph   355(aa), the petition sufficiently identifies the specific matters on which the petitioner relies; and

  (b)   the grant of relief would not unreasonably prejudice the interests of another party to the petition.
