Poland's legal overhaul violates the right to have an independent and impartial judiciary, ECJ rules

The controversial reform has caused an intense and protracted dispute between the Polish government and the European Commission. Poland's judicial reform infringes upon European law because it undermines the right to have access to an independent and impartial judiciary, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has said in a highly-anticipated ruling. "The value of the rule of law is an integral part of the very identity of the European Union as a common legal order and is given concrete expression in principles containing legally binding obligations for the member states," the judges said on Monday afternoon. "The measures thus adopted by the Polish legislature are incompatible with the guarantees of access to an independent and impartial tribunal, previously established by law."
