The Supreme Court declared the election committee's appeal admissible and revoked the Electoral Commission's refusal to register the committee. The Commission had rejected the registration because the name 'Konfederacja Ruch Obrony Bezrobotnych RP' was deemed insufficiently distinct from the political party 'Konfederacja' and the association 'Obywatelski Ruch Bezrobotnych'. The Court ruled that the addition of four specific words created a sufficient distinction, allowing the committee to be registered despite the similarities.
