Regarding Phil Woolas's Election Result
If the election result was void (not voidable), as the ruling says, that means that it never occurred, and Phil Woolas has not been the MP since 6 May 2010 - since then there has been no MP. I presume this needs to be changed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.40.149.194 (talk) 14:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No that's wrong the seat is not vacant, Phil Woolas is still the MP but is barred from sitting in the Commons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.19.42 (talk) 15:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The current legal situation is that there is currently no Member of Parliament for this seat but the by-election is on hold pending the former MP's attempt to seek a Judicial Review. -  Gallo glass  18:09, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This problem is now resolved as the reviewing Court upheld one of the voidability arguments. The distinction is regularly misunderstood, even by lawyers who do not practice in litigation or contract law (void or voidable?).  Void can mean void ab initio or void from the date of the judgment (aka "set aside or unenforceable from xx date) which are the more clear and common terms used), which means any transactions during Mr Woolas's tenure: money he has earnt or expenses he incurred can, under the law as it stands and judgment as made in accordance with historic rulings, be kept.
