The Supreme Court dismissed the Polish People's Party's appeal against the Electoral Commission's rejection of its financial report. The Commission found the party violated election laws by holding 500 zł in personal funds outside a required bank account, regardless of whether a campaign fund existed. The Court ruled that the party's claim of non-participation in the 2001 election was insufficient to justify keeping funds off the books, as the party had clearly established a campaign fund with specific expenditures.
