The Supreme Court granted the request to exclude Judge Jacek Gudowski from the proceedings. The applicants sought to remove the judge because he is a relative of the deceased testator, B. Z., whose estate is involved in the dispute over co-ownership. The court found a sufficient conflict of interest under the Code of Civil Procedure and ordered the judge's withdrawal to ensure impartiality.
