Neo-judges excluded from the Marcin Romanowski case

This was determined by the scope of the appeal against the District Court's decision to issue a safe-conduct. In the 2nd Criminal Division of the Court of Appeal, which hears similar cases, complaints are dealt with by the complaint section, composed of the so-called neo-judges. This is where Zbigniew Ziobro's former disciplinary attorneys adjudicate - judges Piotr Schab, Przemysław Radzik and Michał Lasota, as well as a former member of the so-called neo-KRS. The judges of this special section, by decision of the College of the Court, have a limited scope of action, which does not apply to matters related to the release of arrest.

Two complaints, two recipients

Marcin Romanowski's attorney filed his complaint against the District Court's decision to the complaint section. Mec. Bartosz Lewandowski was the first to file an appeal, but taking up the case had to wait for the prosecutor's complaint. And it was the scope of this complaint that determined who would hear both appeals.

Court's explanation

The prosecutor's complaint covers, among others: decision on the provisional arrest of the suspect, which is why, in accordance with the applicable division of activities established by the College of the Court of Appeal, the case was referred to drawing - through the SLPS system - a referent judge from among all judges of the 2nd Criminal Division adjudicating outside the complaint and motion section - explains the decision, spokeswoman for the SA Criminal Court, Judge Ewa Leszczyńska-Furtak.
