(1) The registration authority's decisions under this Chapter may be appealed to the Political Parties Act Committee, cf. Chapter 5. An appeal must be submitted within three weeks. Appeals shall be submitted to the registrar in writing stating the grounds for the appeal. The Committee notifies the registrar of decisions in appeal cases. The Committee's decisions in appeal cases shall be made public.
(2) The decisions of the Political Parties Act Committee may be brought before the courts of law. In that event, any action must be brought within two weeks after the party in question received notification of the Committee's decision, complete with information about the time limit for bringing an action. A court decision on the registration of a party is only effective for a pending election if it is finally and legally enforceable no later than 31 March in the election year. Until a final and legally enforceable decision is available, the Committee's decision forms the basis for the registration in the Register of Political Parties.
