The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the National Council of the Judiciary's refusal to grant a judge over 65 continued service. The Council had rejected the request based on the judge's average performance and lack of specific employer needs, despite positive opinions from the court's collegium and president. The court found the Council's reasoning unsupported by the file and ordered a retrial to properly assess the judge's suitability.
