Sounds like there's a judge who needs sacking.

    Reading the article, it sounds like the document they sent to the printing company had the legally required asset, but the printing company changed the font which caused it not to print.

    I'm assuming that they had someone from the printing company give evidence showing that it was their error and that the judge didn't just take Reforms lawyer for their word... I hope.

    Sure, because printing companies change the font after you proofed the document all the time.

    The article doesn't say what evidence the judge actually saw to support Reform's claim.
