The private details of thousands of Liberal Party members have been used as part of an internal fight, with officials accused of leaking the information as part of a battle for power ahead of the state council.

Complaints have been lodged with the party about the alleged misuse of Liberal members' details and come as the battle to unseat party president Michael Kroger intensifies with less than two weeks before the ballot.

Mr Kroger remains the favourite to retain the presidency but has been under pressure over the court action against the party's major benefactor, the Cormack Foundation.

The Victorian Liberal Party has taken the foundation to court over who controls the money in the accounts.

The foundation and Mr Kroger have been at loggerheads for more than 12 months.

Cormack provides vital cash to the party to run its operations.

Should the party lose that action it could face millions in legal costs, which would hurt the party already tackling debt.
