Supreme Court limits review to legality, rejecting substantive qualification of judicial candidate's appointment decision.

The Supreme Court of Poland limited its review of the Judicial Council's appointment decision to a check for legal inconsistency, explicitly excluding substantive qualification of the candidate. The applicant argued the Council failed to consider his disciplinary history and violated procedural rights, but the Court held that the Council retains autonomy to set evaluation criteria and weigh all circumstances. Consequently, the Court set aside the decision and remanded the case for the Council to reconsider the applicant's file in light of the new procedural requirements.
