MAP: Magnitude map - CBC.ca. Large security deposit for robocalls election challenges would be “unjust”, lawyer argues. Conservative Party of Canada lawyer Arthur Hamilton said the court must impose the financial surety on the applicants. OTTAWA — The federal court could rule as soon as Friday on a motion that would require voters to pay a $250,000 security deposit to continue their legal challenge of the results in seven ridings from the 2011 federal election as a result of fraudulent political calls. Conservative party lawyer Arthur Hamilton argued in favour of the motion in Federal Court in Ottawa on Tuesday, saying the court must impose the financial surety on the applicants because the law is “open to serious abuse in the hands of the wrong elector, or candidate or proxy group, such as the Council of Canadians.”
