The Polish Law on the Supreme Court in light of rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union, analysis of the Stefan Batory Foundation

The authors – Piotr Bogdanowicz Ph.D and Maciej Taborowski Ph.D. argue in ten short points that provisions of the Law on the Supreme Court might jeopardize the principle of irremovability of judges and thus violate Articles 2 and 19(1) of the Treaty on the EU as well as Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU.

They conclude that if the European Commission launched an infringement procedure over the Law on the Supreme Court, the Court of Justice of the EU would be competent to judge it.
