A judge has labelled a petition brought by an independent candidate against former Victorian opposition leader Matthew Guy as an “exercise in vanity” as he threw out the case.

David Vincent, who ran as an independent candidate against Guy in last year’s state election, filed a petition in the Supreme Court to remove him as the member for Bulleen and instead give himself the seat.
