DA vs De Lille: Electoral Court best place to hear telemarketing case, judge rules SAElections2019 | gerbjan
However, Judge Robert Martin did, much to De Lille's joy, on Friday uphold the Electoral Commission of South Africa's ruling that the DA was untruthful in their telemarketing material when they said that they had fired De Lille.
The DA has applied to the Electoral Court to review the ruling. This matter will be heard soon, according to De Lille, probably before the May 8 elections. The IEC found that the DA had made a"manifestly false statement" by saying that De Lille had been fired, and was therefore in contravention of the electoral code.
"Therefore this court will adjourn this matter without establishing a date. There is no order as to costs whatsoever."
