Bodnar on the Supreme Court Verdict:

Such a Ruling May Be Flawed.

I think we have to realize that such a ruling may be flawed, precisely because we have doubts whether it is a court at all. Please note that this is not only an assessment made by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg, or even the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg in the Lech Wałęsa v. Poland case, but we also have three judges from this chamber who refused to adjudicate precisely because of their status. They said that until we regulate the status of this chamber in accordance with the constitution, we are withdrawing from adjudicating. These are Judge Bosek, Judge Żmij, and Judge Księżak – stated Adam Bodnar on PR24. My words carry a certain weight in this situation. However, I think that at this stage I could say that in this situation, of course, the Minister of Finance should very seriously consider what conclusions to draw if such a ruling is issued and its consequences – he continued.
