Przemysław Rosati: Acts of Anarchy are Occurring in the State Tribunal

Przemysław Rosati discusses the ongoing legal controversies within Poland's State Tribunal regarding the appointment of judges.

In a recent statement, Przemysław Rosati addressed the issues surrounding the State Tribunal of Poland, particularly in the context of a deadline set by the Tribunal's chairwoman, Małgorzata Manowska. Manowska has until April 4th to convene a session of the full Tribunal in response to questions posed by three judges concerning the legalities of appointing judges in specific cases. This situation arises amidst a request to exclude one member from a case involving former KRRiT head Maciej Świrski, raising concerns about the tribunal's internal processes and the overarching legal frameworks.

Rosati indicates that the actions taken by the three-member panel are indeed grounded in legal regulations as dictated by the Tribunal's law, which allows for the application of criminal procedure codes in related matters. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the provisions of the law when navigating these procedural questions, suggesting that what may seem like anarchy could actually be rooted in established legal practice.

The chairwoman's response to the judges' demands, however, was one of rejection, labeling the calls for a full Tribunal meeting as unacceptable. This developing situation within the State Tribunal not only highlights the ongoing debates about judicial independence and procedural integrity in Poland but also reflects the tense relationship between judiciary branches as various actors scrutinize the legitimacy and effectiveness of their legal structures. Without resolution, this could have substantial implications for legal proceedings in the country.
