The Supreme Court's Professional Liability Chamber in Poland decided against lifting the immunity of Maciej Nawacki, a member of the controversial neo-Council of the Judiciary, on charges related to tearing up judicial resolutions. Although the ruling was seen as a victory for Nawacki, his situation remains precarious since the Chamber confirmed that the act of tearing the document did occur. Importantly, this ruling leaves open the possibility for future charges, with the National Prosecutor's Office indicating plans to appeal against the decision.

Judge Nawacki's defense team had sought to dismiss the case entirely, arguing that the act was insignificant and questioning the legitimacy of the prosecutors involved. However, the Chamber’s ruling did not validate these claims and maintained the legitimacy of the prosecutors, which is a significant point of contention for Nawacki and his supporters. The political and legal ramifications of this decision are profound, as it ties into larger debates about the independence of the judiciary in Poland, especially under the current government's judicial reforms.

This ruling also reflects ongoing tensions within Poland's judicial system, particularly concerning the neo-KRS—a body criticized for undermining judicial independence. Legal experts and opposition parties are likely to scrutinize this case as it unfolds, viewing it as emblematic of the struggles faced by the judiciary in maintaining impartiality and integrity within a politically charged environment.
