Rule of Law Act. Małgorzata Manowska wrote to the Venice Commission
Małgorzata Manowska has requested a postponement in the evaluation of a Venice Commission opinion regarding a proposed law aimed at restoring the right to an independent court in Poland.
In a critical move reflecting ongoing judicial tensions in Poland, Małgorzata Manowska, the First President of the Supreme Court, has submitted a request to postpone the review of a Venice Commission's opinion concerning a draft rule of law act. This proposed legislation, which aims to restore the right to an independent and impartial court, addresses the repercussions of resolutions made by the National Council of the Judiciary during the period from 2018 to 2025. The urgency of the review has been called into question, with Manowska arguing that it does not meet the required criteria for an expedited process, recommending instead that it undergo a regular parliamentary debate.
