Justice Minister Bodnar has just appointed three new court presidents in Poznań. The local courts in Poznań and Kraków are the first in Poland where independent judges will replace Ziobro’s nominees. So far, Bodnar has appointed 27 new court presidents, and we publish their list.

The appointed codification commission of the system of common courts and the prosecutor’s office, led by the president of Iustitia, Prof. Krystian Markiewicz, is to propose a true reform of the courts. This commission will also decide what to do next with the neo-judges.

Minister Bodnar wants to streamline the system of delegating judges to higher instance courts.

This is a package of 10 acts, which are intended to help end the disputes with Brussels, unblock the billions for the NRRP and truly reform the courts and the prosecution service.

The new government is clearly signaling to both the Polish and global public opinion, as well as to EU institutions and the Council of Europe, that it will abide by the rulings of the CJEU and the ECHR.
