	MARY ROBERTSON (AP) FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW OF A DECISION OF FIFE COUNCIL v. , 20 April 2001, Lord President

		Counsel for the petitioner argued that the respondents' decision was an attempt to evade the policy of Parliament as expressed in these statutes and in effect to put improper force on her sons to pay for her accommodation.
		The Lord Ordinary founded upon this provision as demonstrating that at the stage of deciding whether to provide assistance the local authority are to have regard to means and this conferred on them a discretion to grant or refuse an application.

		A prominent example was President Sir Clifden Eager, who reportedly lost party pre-selection for his seat in 1952 due to his failure the previous year to resign the Presidency and join Liberal and Country Party colleagues on the floor of the House to vote against the Greater Melbourne Council Bill.
		Whenever a President is elected, that person presents him/herself to the Governor to advise that he/she is the Legislative Council's choice and subsequently informs the House of the Governor's reply.
