As 300POLITYKA has learned, on Thursday around 11:00 AM, President Andrzej Duda will make an appointment for the so-called "commissioner" at the Supreme Court, meaning he will entrust one of the Supreme Court judges with performing the duties of the First President of the Supreme Court, as permitted by Article 13a of the Act on the Supreme Court.

In accordance with the law, within a week of being entrusted with the duties of the First President of the Supreme Court, the judge to whom these duties have been delegated convenes the General Assembly of Supreme Court Judges, which they preside over, for the purpose of selecting candidates for the position of First President of the Supreme Court.

Initially, the General Assembly meeting to select candidates for this position was scheduled for March, then April, but ultimately the outgoing First President of the Supreme Court, Małgorzata Gersdorf, stated that due to the current situation, it would not be possible.
