Could the courts resolve this? Or like the US, would they say "not up to us."?

Do the courts have jurisdiction over party primaries? Also, if it does go to an internal commission, what would their verdict most likely be?

Fillon will not accept the commission's findings.

They'll reconfirm him as leader. Now the question: will Fillon form a splinter party? Or too much of a Party Man for that?

If there's a revote I'm fairly sure Fillon will win- and probably not by a recount margin either.

How else to avoid a splinter? No compromise choice as permanent leader waiting in the wings either.

There will be a revote in September 2013.

They're still negotiating over who leads the party for now... and I assume that the anger over what happened translates to a Fillon victory.
