The Supreme Court of Poland allowed the Polish National Community's appeal against the rejection of its financial report. The Electoral Commission rejected the report because the party received cash donations from a foreign resident and the party committee failed to submit its own financial report. The court ruled that neither receiving foreign cash nor a missing committee report automatically justifies rejecting the party's report unless campaign spending bypassed the Electoral Fund.
