The National Court Register reports that the Prosecutor’s Office has received a notification about the possibility of committing a crime by a well-known judicial activist from Gliwice – judge Paweł Strumiński. It concerns the imposition of a fine on judge Dagmara Pawełczyk-Woicka, president of the National Judicial Council. Was there manipulation and deliberate concealment of an important process document? What is really behind the decision of the Silesian judge?

The case is related to the January (January 25) decision of Judge Strumiński, which required the President of the Register of the National Court to provide “full documentation, which is in the National Council of the Judiciary, regarding the appointment process for the position of a Judge of the District Court in Gliwice, together with full documentation of the procedure regarding the prior appointment of the same person to the position of assessor (…) within 14 days under penalty of the imposition of a fine of PLN 2,000 for failure to fulfill the court’s obligation on time.”
On February 17, the head of the National Court Register sent the “missing” documentation to the district court in Gliwice. The letter has been sent to the president of the court. Interestingly, Judge Paweł Strumiński imposed a fine of PLN 2,000 on Judge Dagmara Pawełczyk-Woicka already on February 24. zloty. Why? He considers that the President has not responded to Judge Strumiński’s request.
In this state of affairs, on April 19, 2023, the President of the National Court Register held a conversation with the President of the Court in Gliwice, from whom information has been obtained that the letter of February 17, 2023 is being analyzed in terms of the provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure (- sic!!!) was not submitted to the file of case I Co 204/23, and a similar fate befell the annexes to this letter in the form of documents issued by the Court, which remain available to the president
– we read in the position of the National Court Register.
As early as April 20, the president of the National Court Register filed a complaint with the Ministry of Justice about the behavior of the president of the district court in Gliwice.
“Given the very unclear circumstances of the non-submission of the case with reference number I Co 204/23 of the letter from the President of the National Judicial Council dated February 17, 2023, together with attachments, and in particular doubts about the person who caused the removal of documents in a way that can update the need to assess the event from the point of view of meeting the characteristics of an offense under art. 276 pc and art. 231 § 1 of the Penal Code in connection with joke. § 2 of the Penal Code (I would like to mention that “cancellation of a document” within the meaning of art. 276 of the Penal Code is any act that results in it being made inaccessible to the authorized person, even if the place of storage of there is no doubt that the competent person with regard to the attached documents I Co 204/23, and not the president of the court in which the case was pending, was the evidence in the case), which resulted in the erroneous acceptance of the failure of the President of the National Judicial Council to submit the documents and the imposition of a fine on the President, I request that the causes and circumstances of the described incident be established within the framework of external administrative supervision (…)
– we read on the website of the National Court Register.
However, this is not the end. In view of the obvious scandal, a report was filed by Judge Paweł Strumiński about the possibility of committing a crime. It may include the deliberate and politically motivated issuance of a decision imposing a fine on the president of the national court register. The report stressed that, in the opinion of the President of the National Court Register, Judge Strumiński’s actions had no legal or practical grounds. This may have the characteristics of an act prohibited under Art. 231 § 1 pc
Judges political activity?
The President of the National Judicial Council also revealed specific actions and behavior of Judge Strumiński in public space.
The deliberate aspect of Judge Paweł Strumiński’s actions is indicated by: his social media activity, consisting of the repeated publication of highly politically engaged comments, amounting to questioning not only the direction but also the legality of reforms of the justice system, the emotional and stylistic character of which testifies to his ferocity and goes far beyond moderation and restraint in expressing political views (using sharp and often contemptuous terms such as political cacique, idiotic rhetoric of this gentleman (- about the justice minister), judge, pseudo-journalist, putinization, Soviet-style system, how can you lie in public)
– we read in the position of the National Court Register.
It should be emphasized that Judge Paweł Strumiński, in his bloody remarks, paid special attention to the chairman of the National Judicial Council, about whom he wrote: “This lady does not understand what independence or impartiality is, but it is not surprising if you stand at the service of politicians” and “thanks, among others, to this lady (…) total anarchy”). Based on the general disputation of the reforms of the judiciary, the president of the National Council of the Judiciary was undoubtedly on the “shortlist” of people against whom the judge has a special reluctance, aversion and resentment, taking an almost personal dimension, what emotions he expressed by using the opportunities afforded to him by the office he held
– informs the National Court Register.
What if a citizen “falls”?
The President of the Register of the National Court expects the Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor’s Office to explain the case thoroughly, and in particular whether the referring court acted in consultation with the President of the Gliwice Court and other persons. It should be emphasized that a reliable explanation in this regard is in the interest of the judiciary, because otherwise every citizen “under the jurisdiction” may fear that he will not be treated impartially by the judiciary
