Monika Dolinska-Ficek and Artur Ozimek requested new destinations in 2017 and 2018, requests that were denied. The Strasbourg Court has now ordered the Polish State to compensate each of the plaintiffs with € 15,000 in damages.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has condemned Poland considering that he violated the rights of two Polish judges, Monika Dolinska-Ficek y Artur Ozimek, who unsuccessfully requested new destinations in 2017 and 2018, respectively. In addition, it has obliged the Polish State to compensate each of the plaintiffs with € 15,000 in damages.
The judgment of the Strasbourg Court has examined the work of the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court, composed of judges appointed by the president at the proposal of the National Council of the Judiciary, appointed in turn by Parliament.
The bodies that regulate the activity of judges refused to recommend them for the positions they requested and the appeals presented were also archived.
The European court holds that their cases no they were analyzed by “a court established by law”, but by a chamber lacking impartiality and independence.
Likewise, the Human Rights Court urges the Polish authorities to take measures to prevent similar cases from recurring in the future.
In October, the Court of Justice of the European Union imposed a fine of one million euros a day on Poland until it respects the independence of the judiciary.
