Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the judge's appeal against the National Council of the Judiciary's refusal to extend his tenure beyond age 65. The court found that while the Council acted substantively instead of formally rejecting the unreasoned application, the judge had already been given a final opportunity to correct the defect by the competent court collegium. Consequently, the procedural requirements were deemed satisfied, and the judge could no longer file a new application before his statutory deadline expired.
