%X Douskos & Markellos (, A&A, 446, 357) first reported the existence of the out-of-plane equilibrium points in restricted three-body problem with oblateness. This result deviates significantly from the intuitive physical point of view that there is no other force that can balance the combined gravitation in <i>Z<i/> direction. In fact, the out-of-plane equilibrium in that model is illusory and we prove here that such equilibrium points arise from the improper application of the potential function
