The wPolityce.pl portal discovered and confirmed that Judge Piotr Schab, who has been fighting for years against the pathologies of the judicial “caste”, today returned to the post of President of the Court of Appeal in Warsaw. Previously, Adam Bodnar suspended him from office and initiated the process to remove Judge Schab from office. It was clear revenge for the steadfast attitude of the judge who served as the disciplinary spokesperson for the judges of the ordinary courts.

The wPolityce.pl portal was the first to report the attempt to dismiss Judge Piotr Schab. However, the Warsaw Court of Appeal Board stood in the way and opposed Adam Bodnar’s decision. That is why the Minister of Justice has suspended President Schab. However, the latter appealed to the Constitutional Court for an interim decision. The Tribunal issued this last week, allowing Piotr Schab to return to his former position. This is another defeat for Adam Bodnar in TK. The Tribunal previously made an interim ruling on the unlawful conduct of the Attorney General at the National Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The Minister of Justice’s argumentation was completely non-substantive and political. It referred to a distorted understanding of the rule of law. It is an expression of interference with judicial independence. As a disciplinary spokesperson for judges of ordinary courts, I am unfairly judged in moral and ethical terms. The argument is therefore an astonishing coincidence with political overtones
– says Piotr Schab in an interview with wPolityce.pl.
We asked the President of the SA in Warsaw whether Admiral Bodnar’s actions were not generous revenge for Judge Schab’s steadfast and apolitical stance as a disciplinary spokesperson for judges.
This definitely happens. The behavior of the Minister of Justice is consistent with the arguments of some judicial circles, which tarnish my good name. There is a close connection here
– emphasizes judge Piotr Schab.
Several dozen SA judges in Warsaw also took part in the action aimed at eliminating Judge Schab, who collected signatures for the president’s dismissal. It is clear that the operation was a joint initiative of Adam Bodnar and the judicial ‘caste’.
