32 Official Gazette – Issue No. 9 (bis) March 1, 2015 portfolio, containing a photocopy of the verdict of lawsuit no. 51701 for 1965 from the Administrative Court of Cairo and an official facsimile duplicate of the Social Labor Party Chief Decision no. 15 for 2014, dated December 3, 2014. Court Having reviewed relevant documents and conducted appropriate deliberations; Whereas the facts – as indicated in the Statement of Claim and other documents – can be summed as follows: the plaintiff has lodged pleading no. 24174 for 1996 before the Cairo Administrative Court for an urgent original verdict to stop enforcement of the Higher Election Committee call for voters in House elections dated January 8, 2015. The Statement of Claim also calls for cancellation of the decision of the Higher Election Committee to call voters in elections of House members. The Statement of Claim similarly calls – as preventive ruling – to an appeal against Laws (45) and (46) for 2014 on the exercise of political rights and the House, either at the Supreme Constitutional Court or through a Constitutional pleading appeal by the plaintiff. The Statement of Claim also bears – as absolute preventive ruling – referral of Articles (2) and (4) of the HoR Law and Articles (22) and (57) of the Law of exercise of political rights, either at the Supreme Constitutional Court or through a Constitutional pleading appeal by the plaintiff.

Paragraph (2) also states, “The Head of the Party may delegate one or more party leaders to exercise some competencies of the Head of the Party, in accordance with the internal bylaws” Whereas Paragraph (1) of the previous Article implies the exclusive representation of the Party by its Head – and none other, including Party members – in all legal matters before courts or any other party or in confrontations with others. On the other hand, Paragraph (2) of the said Article allows the Head of the Party to delegate one or more party leaders to exercise some competencies of the Head of the Party – other than those mentioned in Paragraph (1) – in accordance with the internal bylaws.
