Polish Supreme Court rules late financial reports must be rejected even if a party seeks deregistration.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that the Electoral Commission must reject a political party's late financial report, even if the Commission had previously filed a request to deregister the party. The Green Party argued that filing a deregistration request waived the Commission's duty to reject the late report, but the Court found no such legal link. Consequently, the Court held that the deregistration request remains valid and the lower court proceedings should be dismissed.
