How to fix Polish courts? According to the ultimate Court justice Michael Laskowski, this is not a simple task, and the full process can take many years. - I always said you can't fix lawlessness. But after a year and a half of current governments, I doubted that it could be so completely corrected according to all the rules of art - he said in the program "The Most crucial Questions".
The guest of the Monday program "Most crucial Questions" was the ultimate Court justice Michał Laskowski, who was asked, among others, how to "fix" Polish courts. In his opinion, this process may take many years, and in order to do so, laws are needed to reset the system.
"KRS was expected to unite different kinds of power"
- I'm sorry. There should be vacant positions in the Constitutional Tribunal and usually lead to competent and independent judges. I think it is essential to find a solution that would make most of the alleged neo-judges become, but it is by law whether the resolutions of the National Court registry and end up questioning their status, and this group, which clearly stood on the side of power and benefited from various effects, should be subjected to disciplinary proceedings," he said.
Laskowski besides stated that the ultimate Court should be subjected to a "reset". "I am looking for a solution that would origin citizens to have assurance in this court," he explained.

The justice besides referred to a different explanation of the law which perturbs Polish judiciary. - In Constitution Indeed, it is not written that this judicial part of the National Judicial Council is chosen by judges. That was the intent of the Constitution's creators. This is due to various discussions, justifications, comments, rulings of the erstwhile Constitutional Tribunal. Now we can say, "We'll do this." Minister Żurek He'll choose all those judges. Nobody said they couldn't choose. Let him point out those 15 and whoever he wants. And where is it forbidden? - he asked and stated that "there are any boundaries somewhere".
- I'm sorry. The full Constitution and the full structure are interpreted. The KRS is simply a body that was expected to unite different types of power, but with the advantage of the judges, due to the fact that it afraid the judiciary - he explained.
"After a year and a half of current rule, I doubted"
- I'm sorry. It cannot be that the law can be interpreted in any direction that is convenient. Of course, there is simply a field of interpretation, they do it in SN, but mostly it should not be besides broad. Let them think about it however, let it not be a discussion at a circular table'Cause it's expected to be part of it. It's crucial to think about how to solve this problem. This is simply a trial that will proceed - added the judge.
- That's a fundamental question. Can lawlessness be repaired by legal methods consistent with the Constitution, laws, etc.? That's what I always said, due to the fact that you can't fix lawlessness, due to the fact that it's an example for the future. After all, further governments and formations that will include authorities can usage this, but After a year and a half of current rule, I doubted, whether it can be so completely in accordance with all the rules of art - said Laskowski.
Among politicians there are allegations against judges. They concern corruption, attribution of political options, or even ties to communist power. The guest of the Most crucial Questions program referred to these speeches.
- I'm sorry. It's a process that's been going on for years and it's getting worse. Searching for Communists in SN in 2025 is about a planet that has small connection with reality. I am already much older, and in communist times I was a advanced school student and started my studies, so how many communist judges can there be now? This is absurd, why all the fuss since 2017/18?
Political division in courts. justice SN points out a way to repair
Laskowski said how the improvement of the judiciary could be carried out and whether it was possible "over divisions". - We've got deep Court crisis. The situation has matured into supraparty or suprapolitical divisions or agreements. But as a man watches the political scene, he wonders if the atmosphere of fighting and burdening himself with wine is not what politics has stated.

The justice stressed that All doubts about the position of judges must be eliminated in Poland.
- I'm sorry. There should not be a field that determines who is simply a "legal" justice and who is not. It should be a task for all those deciding on the state's destiny to lead to a situation where there will be no specified doubts and discussions. This state must lead to a situation in which specified doubts will not be - he concluded.
