In an escalating move in the confrontation with Poland, the European Court of Justice imposed a fine of €1 million per day for failing to implement a previous ECJ ruling to dissolve Poland’s Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court. https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2021-10/cp210192en.pdf
The ECJ ruling had been rejected by the Polish Constitutional Court, and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki had asserted the primacy of national law over EU law in a speech before the EU Parliament and the EU Commission last week.
In a related move, the European Network of Councils of Justice (ENCJ) expelled Poland yesterday. The ENCJ is a coordinating body between the Commission and all European Councils of Justice, its members being members of the National Councils.
