Anyone want to bet that he will fight the bankruptcy proceedings the whole way?

[DPF: Of course. He also asked the Court to recall their finding in the electoral petition!]

Now a member of NZ first Mr Payne reported today that he would be paying his fines to un-named charities.

He should have been ordered to pay ‘indemnity’ costs (ie full costs) for a hopeless case but the Judiciary is extremely reluctant to order ‘full’ coses .

[DPF: That was sought but declined]

Is this the same Roger Payne who was Lincoln College (!) student president, sometime in the 1960s?

If so, should have been a sure path to National Party success. Where did the man go wrong?
