Report prepared by Dariusz Mazur, press officer of the Association of Judges “Themis”, updated for 20 November 2020



A year ago, in a ground-breaking judgment of 19 November 2019 (C-585/18, C-624/18, C-625-18), the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) agreed with the reservations of the Polish Supreme Court (SC) raised in a request for a preliminary ruling that the new Polish National Council of the Judiciary (neo-NCJ) and the Disciplinary Chamber of the SC may not satisfy the requirement of independence under EU law. The CJEU has simultaneously authorized all Polish courts to establish whether judges appointed with the participation of the neo-NCJ are judges in the meaning of EU law and provided clear criteria according to which they are to assess the independence of the neo-NCJ and the Disciplinary Chamber. On the one hand, the CJEU ruling undermined the compliance with the provisions of European Union law, the core elements of the pseudo-reform of the Polish judiciary and, on the other, it provided Polish judges with the ability to question the independence of the central elements of this reform, which are the Disciplinary Chamber, the neo-NCJ and the judges appointed and promoted with its participation.
