The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Real Policy Union against the Electoral Commission's refusal to issue a referendum campaign certificate. The Commission denied the party's eligibility because it did not meet the 3% threshold in the 2001 parliamentary elections or prove membership in a specific electoral coalition. The Court ruled that a mere agreement to run candidates together did not constitute a formal coalition under electoral law.
