“Once an impermissible donation had been made to a registered political party and the party had not returned it a magistrates’ court should on an application by the Electoral Commission normally exercise its discretion under section 58(2) of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 to order forfeiture of an amount equal to the value of the donation.”
