Political party's sale of assets without title transfer does not constitute disposal under election finance law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the Polish People's Party's appeal against the Electoral Commission's rejection of its financial report. The Commission found that 89% of the party's income came from asset sales, specifically 68 contracts with a related foundation that were merely binding agreements for future title transfer ten years later. The Court ruled that because the party retained ownership and continued using the property, these were not definitive disposals under the statute, and the timing of contract signing was irrelevant to the prohibition on non-disposal income.
