According to the daily, the changes in the judiciary prepared by the government are not to bypass administrative courts. “In the case of the Supreme Administrative Court, there is talk of merging chambers and introducing a new disciplinary chamber” – reported the newspaper.
“According to sources close to Ministry of Justice the president’s powers are also considered to be increased: he would be to appoint not only the president of the Supreme Administrative Court, but also his deputies and presidents of individual chambers, “Rzeczpospolita adds.
According to Rzeczpospolita, the entry into force of the changes would mean the termination of their function (with the exception of the president of the court) and the appointment of new people to these positions.
Rzeczpospolita also writes that the ruling camp is preparing for the next wave of changes in the common courts. Courts of appeal will cease their activity, and there will be regional or regional courts.
– It is much easier to liquidate 11 courts of appeal than over 300 district courts – claim the authors of the changes quoted by the daily.
Instead, an institution is to emerge the magistrates’ courts. They will receive minor criminal misdemeanor cases, but minor civil cases will still be brought to district courts.
The changes also assume that work at the university will be possible, for example, only after obtaining the consent of the minister of justice. “For judges of the Supreme Court or Supreme Administrative Court such consent would be issued in the future not by the minister of justice, but by the president of the Republic of Poland himself, “the newspaper reads.
– Nobody better than the president of the court in which the judge adjudicates and who now gives consent to additional didactic work, knows whether the judge is coping with the adjudication and whether there are any arrears. The president has access to the statistics. Neither the minister of justice nor the president can check it directly – says “The Republic of Poland“Aneta Łazarska, judge of the District Court in Warsaw and lecturer at one of the universities in Warsaw.
