Winston vs Trevor

Stuff reports:

Former Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has launched legal proceedings against Parliament Speaker Trevor Mallard over a defunct trespass order.

Peters said he filed judicial review application against Mallard at the High Court in Wellington on Monday afternoon.

He was seeking a declaration from the court that a trespass order placed on him, and then withdrawn, was “unlawful, unreasonable, and irrational”.

This will be a fascinating case, if not settled out of court.
