Supreme Court voids civil procedure decision due to judge participation violating impartiality rules.

The Supreme Court of Poland voided a lower court's dismissal of a retrial request because two judges who participated in the original judgment also sat on the retrial panel. The plaintiff argued that the lower court improperly rejected his claim regarding forged signatures and unpaid wages, while the Ministry of Justice appealed citing violations of judicial impartiality. The court ruled that the repeated participation of the same judges constituted a fundamental breach of the law, necessitating the annulment of the decision and remittal to a different court.
