WEIMER, J.,

concurring in part and dissenting in part,

Ixl concur in the court’s decision insofar as it affirms the dismissal of the action objecting to Mr. Perilloux’s candidacy. I respectfully dissent, however, - from the court’s decision to reverse the award of sanctions without first affording the prevailing party an opportunity to respond.
