Because of these sections of the party program, Jack Erik Kjuus was on 21 February 1997 sentenced by Oslo Municipal Court to 60 days conditional jail and 20.000 NOK in fine for violation of penal code section § 135a, also known as racism paragraph. The ruling was appealed to the Supreme Court. In the Supreme Court the issue was discussed in the plenary, which had not happened for 27 years. The ruling from the Municipal Court was maintained in November. Five of the judges went in for acquittal, while the remaining twelve voted for the maintenance of the verdict.
As a protest against the verdict the party board withdrew shortly after. Jack Erik Kjuus also pulled out of politics. Many of its members went over to the newly established party the National Alliance
