The EU referendum provisions were carefully scrutinised and ratified by Parliament. In line with the precedent for referendums, there was a six week period in which the formal result and administration of the EU Referendum could be challenged by judicial review.</p><p> </p><p>The Electoral Commission is an independent organisation and its investigations are a matter for it alone.
