Judicial Reforms: Resolving Judge Status and Ensuring Judgment Stability

The act regulates the status of judges appointed with the participation of the National Council of the Judiciary between 2018 and 2025. The changes aim to guarantee citizens the right to an independent court while preserving the validity of most existing judgments.
Key points
Categorization of judges: Newly appointed judges (e.g., after associate stage) keep their positions, while promoted judges return to their previous posts.
Judges from other professions: Individuals who entered the judiciary from other legal professions (e.g., attorneys, prosecutors) lose their judicial status but can return to their former careers or become court referendaries.
Finishing pending cases: Promoted judges returning to lower posts will be temporarily delegated to their current courts for 2 years to resolve ongoing cases.
Challenging past judgments: Citizens can request the annulment of a judgment issued by an improperly appointed judge only if they raised objections to the judge's impartiality during the trial.
Abolition of the Supreme Court Chamber: The Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court and the extraordinary appeal mechanism are abolished.
Presidential deadline: The President of Poland will have 3 months to appoint a judge after receiving a motion from the National Council of the Judiciary.
Repayment of housing loans: Individuals who lose their judicial status must repay court-provided housing loans within 2 years.
