Even though Tallinn Administrative Court annulled a prescript for over a million euros the Political Parties Financing Surveillance Committee (ERJK) had issued against the Center Party in late January, the board of the party has decided to challenge the ruling's statement of reasons as concerns ERJK's approach in the interests of future legal clarity.
The party's Secretary General Andre Hanimägi said via a press release that while the ruling is favorable for Center as it annuls the precept, the party is seeking clarity for the future in what is a complicated dispute.
"Even though the precept was overturned in court, we feel it is necessary to further analyze the methodology of calculating the profits of the party's contractual partners, which is why we will appeal the ruling as concerns its statement of reasons," Hanimägi explained. Center will not be challenging the part of the ruling that annuls the precept.
