Here, an anti fascist group had distributed pamphlets in three constituencies urging voters not to vote for the national Front candidate. The group was prosecuted under section 75 Representation of People Act 1983 for incurring expenditure with a view to promoting the election of a candidate without the authority of an election agent. It was held that an offence had been committed, even though the promoters were seeking to prevent the election of the candidate, as opposed to directly promoting the election of their preferred candidate. Nonetheless, the court felt that there was breach of section 75.
