Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal against the appellate court's partial rejection of a judge disqualification request. The plaintiff argued that judges exhibited partiality based on past cases, but the court held that only personal relationships defined in the Civil Procedure Code justify disqualification. The court ruled that subjective doubts without evidence of personal ties or judicial admission of bias do not meet the legal threshold for disqualification.
Legislator headnote
