The Court decides only trusted circle of judges? – Virtual Poland

• e-mail leak CEOs Court addressed only to the nine judges on the recommendation of the PO, reveals a deeper crisis of the Constitutional Court, than we thought – we read in “Rzeczpospolita”

 • Management of TK not only question the three judges on the recommendation of Justice, but mobbinguje three already adjudicating – writes the daily
  

After reading the letters that revealed the real tvp.info between the President of the Court Rzeplińskim Andrew, vice president Stanislaw Biernat and judge Mark Zubikiem that perhaps mistakenly attached it to another e-mail, pressure to the question whether the Court of not getting an informal group of trusted judges – we read in the newspaper.

Vice President Biernat confirmed the authenticity of the disclosed e-mail and explains that he turned to 9 judges, since they since realistically prepare substantive ruling, which have confirmed the names of the rapporteurs of the 23 cases which were sentenced in 2016.

the fact that the mail Vice relates to future matters: “I would like to draw attention to the urgent need to prepare contained in our papers affairs from 2016. of new, controversial laws contested by the Ombudsman or the deputies. It is most desirable to many such cases have been tried at the latest by mid-December. “

  Those words do not have to explain, in terms of the most political, contentious issues and speed, to issue judgments before time runs out the term of office of the President of Rzepliński (19 December this year.).

Some lawyers say – a kitchen judges. But why among the 9 judges do not have any of the recommendations of Justice? And why is not 12 of them, actually 15?
 

So far we have talked about the dispute over cast three places in CT, while it turns out that the three judges already adjudicating treated is as if they were judges of the second category, if the judgments and decisions in TK could be dispensed with, it is enough, that terminates a group of trusted judges.
 

  Perhaps it is not a direct violation of the law, but this is a serious breach of the standards of judges – and at such a high level! It also seems kind of bullying in relation to judges overlooked in emails – notes “Rzeczpospolita”.
 

What does it mean for lasting more than half a year, a sharp dispute with the Court?

This means that a compromise is even more difficult, since the agreement can only enter into the predictable partner, and the management of the Court gave further evidence of the actions of gag reel, and quite the opposite. The opposition will be more difficult to defend as acting judges. But would induce her to compromise? – Asks the newspaper.
 

Anyway, seriousness and credibility of the Court is fundamentally undermined and I have no doubt that without replacing judges can rebuild it.
