6 Official Journal – Issue No. 22 (bis) on 03 June 2013 be responsible for the issue, either by the consideration or elimination thereof. In case the board of commissioners sees – from an initial perspective – that the legislative text contradicts the constitution, it should first check its validity while being set forth before the SCC. If the trial court – appeal examination division – has ruled that the texts referred thereto to decide its constitutionality include unconstitutionality defect and are necessary to settle the substantive lawsuit, the interest in the constitutional lawsuit shall exist. Whereas concerning the intervention requests submitted by each of Mr/Ayman Zakaria Hassan, Mr Dr/Gaber Gad Nassar, Mr/Ashraf Abduallah Mohamed, Mr/Mohamed Ibrahim Amin, Mr/Ali Ahmed Mohamed Borham, Mr/Mohamed Ahmed Shehata, Mr/Ahmed Abo Baraka, Mr/Mohamed Hassan Abo Al-Enein and Mr/Gamal Tag Al-Din, the case law of SCC court decides that the condition of accepting the intervention in the constitutional lawsuit shall be submitted by who was a party in the subjective lawsuit, which the ruling in the constitutional issue affects the ruling thereon. If the intervention requester is not represented in this lawsuit, he shall not be considered from the concerned parties in the subjective lawsuit and his intervention shall be rejected.

Paragraph 5 stipulates that "Subject to the provisions of Article 16 of the present law, the number of candidates on any of the party lists shall be equal to two-thirds of the number of seats allocated to the electoral district, provided that at least half of them are farmers and workers and that they alternate on the list..." Article (8) of the said law, replaced with decree law No. 109/2011, stipulates that "The nomination request for the Shura Council membership shall be submitted in writing to the elections committee in the governorate where the candidate desires to nominate himself for one of constituencies thereof, during the period to be determined by a decree of the Higher Elections Commission, provided that this period shall not be less than five days from the date of opening the nomination period… The provisions stated in the 3 previous paragraphs shall apply to closed party-list candidates.
