‚A reorganisation that will enable the managerial positions to be filled by neo-judges is being planned by Małgorzata Manowska, who is acting as the first president of the Supreme Court, as well as Professor Joanna Misztal-Konecka, who is acting as the president of the Civil Chamber. Both are neo-judges in the Supreme Court, namely judges nominated by the new, politicized National Council fo Judiciary, whose legality the European Court of Human Rights and the EU Court of Justice have contested. We are writing that they are “acting as” presidents because they were selected in a procedure that can be subject to serious legal defects. And the legality of their selection can be contested on this basis.’

‚We established that the plan to reorganise the Civil Chamber has already been prepared. The Board of the Supreme Court, which participates in making some of the decisions in the Supreme Court, will vote on it on 15 December 2021. Meanwhile, the actual reorganisation is to be conducted on 1 January 2022.’

‚We haves learned that the old, legal judges of the Supreme Court will protest against the reorganisation. Although they currently have the majority in the Civil Chamber, after the reorganisation they will lose their influence over decisions made there.’

‚The reorganisation of this chamber is another stage in the seizure of power in the Supreme Court by the neo-judges of the Supreme Court. They already have the post of First President of the Supreme Court – the President appointed Małgorzata Manowska, Minister Ziobro’s former deputy, to this post in 2020. The neo-judges make up the whole of the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs and the illegal Disciplinary Chamber, which were appointed by PiS.’
