Official Gazette, Issue 24 App. (a) on 14 June 2012 17 1971 which is no longer in force. It stipulated that “The Committee will be composed of the President of the Supreme Constitutional Court as the Chairman, and membership made up of the President of the Cairo Court of Appeals, the most senior deputies of the President of the Supreme Constitutional Court, the most senior deputies of the President of the Court of Cassation and the most senior deputies of the president of the State Council.” This is also repeated in the first paragraph of Article (5) of Law No. 174 of 2005 regulating presidential elections, modified by Legislative Decree No. 12 of 2012. In this manner, this composition provides guarantees of capability, neutrality and independence, since the membership of the Committee is restricted to purely judicial members who are not selected on a personal basis but by virtue of their positions. From another angle, the jurisdiction of this Committee, both administrative and legislative, has been decided by the articles of the aforementioned Law No. 174 of 2005. The Committee enjoys full independence when exercising all of its prerogatives. It has public legal personhood, and its own budget which is incorporated within the public budget of the State, as stipulated for in Article (6) of the same law. The Committee resolves legislative disputes which fall within its jurisdiction, represented by appeals submitted by those whose nomination papers have not been accepted, and appeals submitted by candidates against the decisions of the public committees, in accordance with the text of Clause (11) of the first paragraph of Article (8), the second paragraph of Article (16), and the second paragraph of Article (36) of the aforementioned law, once the evidence of the appellant has been heard, or the appellant has been notified to appear before the Commission but has failed to do so. This offers the main legislative guarantees by granting sufficient opportunities to candidates to appeal and to offer a defense before the Commission, in light of the legal framework stipulated for previously by the legislation, so that rulings issued in disputes shall give assurance of the legal facts, crystallizing the substance thereof with regards to the rights of the defendant or disputed party. Rulings issued by the Commission, in line with the stipulations of the third paragraph of Article (28) of the Constitutional Declaration and the second paragraph of Article (8) of the aforementioned Law No. 174 of 2005, shall be final and automatically executable and not subject to appeal by any means or before anybody. It shall not be permissible to object to the Commission’s rulings in order to suspend the execution thereof or to have them revoked. Following on from this, the Presidential Elections Committee – with regards to its legislative jurisdiction – fulfils the formative and subjective standards for a body with legislative jurisdiction, which the legislation considers in the text of Article (29) of the aforementioned Law No. 48 of 1979. The decision to refer the papers to this Court to resolve the constitutionality of the referred text meets all the formative stipulated requirements for associating the submitted petition with the Supreme Constitutional Court. This association and the circumstances in effect were thus approved by the Court. With regards to the two requests for intervention, one combative and one associative, in the submitted petition, the ruling of this Court states that the condition for accepting an intervention is that it be submitted by a person who is a party to the substantive action the ruling on which is affected by the ruling on the constitutional issue. If the person requesting to intervene is not represented in this petition, they shall not be
