Abstract
AbstractThis article examines two rulings of the European Court of Human Rights on the rights of independent Polish judges in Juszczyszyn v. Poland and Tuleya v. Poland, focusing on two key aspects. First, it addresses the Court’s finding that the Polish authorities aimed to undermine judicial independence and deter the applicants from questioning the Government’s controversial judicial reforms. Secondly, it explores the potential evolution of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights regarding recognising the subjective right of judges under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights to have their independence protected and respected by the State. The article also discusses problems concerning implementation of the two judgments.
