The case stems from an election commission petition to disband Move Forward over its plan to amend a law that protects the powerful monarchy from criticism, a campaign the party dropped earlier this year on the order of the court. The party has denied wrongdoing. The decision follows a separate ruling by the Constitutional Court in January that said Move Forward's campaign to change the royal insult law was a hidden effort to undermine the monarchy.

The case against Move Forward also coincides with another complaint before the court seeking the removal of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin over a cabinet appointment of a lawyer who was previously jailed.
