The state's high court won't reopen the issue of campaign finance limits before the May primary. Which means they remain in place.
The Committee of Seventy praised the decision: “Seventy has consistently maintained that removing the limits would result in a fundraising frenzy,” Seventy said in a release.

Oh Thank Heavens. This means Fattah is no longer a big contender in this race. He has little cash on hand, no fundraising skills, and no one to raise money from now that he has spent the last month making insulting and divisive comments about the middle class in this city.
However, there is still a danger that the supreme court could take away Philly's right to regulate campaign finances. Won't it be a shame that WHEN Fattah looses the primary, his lawsuit could still end up endangering good gov't in this city for years to come.
