The Lighthouse of EU Law Shines on the Polish Constitutional Tribunal - Neutralising its Obstruction, Substituting its Function, Supporting the Transition

The Lighthouse of EU Law Shines on the Polish Constitutional Tribunal - Neutralising its Obstruction, Substituting its Function, Supporting the Transition Spieker, Luke Dimitrios Author aut Text xx# 2024 Verfassungsblog 2024-06-26 eng Last week, legal scholars from all over the world met in Freiburg at the ConTrans conference. On the one end of the spectrum, scholars like Woijcech Sadurski advocated for a revolutionary approach, simply dismantling the current Tribunal and re-building it from scratch. On the other end stands Adam Bodnar, who stressed the importance of legality in the transition process. In my view, EU law shines a possible way ahead – it can justify disregarding the Tribunal’s decisions and empower ordinary courts to assume the Tribunal’s jurisdiction. Eventually, this would lead to a decentralised constitutional review.
