Supreme Court dismisses judge's appeal against KRS refusal to extend service after age 65 due to lack of response to negative opinion.

The Supreme Court dismissed Judge Antoni R.'s appeal against the National Council of the Judiciary's (KRS) refusal to extend his judicial service beyond age 65. The KRS denied the request based on a negative performance opinion from the District Court Collegium, which Judge R. failed to comment on despite being explicitly invited to do so. The court ruled that the KRS did not violate procedural rules because the judge voluntarily chose not to respond to the opinion, making the refusal lawful.
