Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Polish Supreme Court dismissed the election committee's appeal against the rejection of its financial election report. The court found that the committee violated election law by accepting direct cash donations from individuals and returning funds, which contradicts the strict requirement that funds must come solely from the party's election fund. The court ruled that these statutory provisions are absolute conditions for report rejection, meaning the committee's lack of intent or minor fault does not justify overturning the decision.
