The CJEU punishes Poland and discontinues another penalty
16:15
A fine of €1 million a day is to be paid by Poland for the functioning of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court. The government has announced that it will liquidate it by the end of the year. The Court of Justice of the European Union called for this step until August 16.
"Provision of provisional measures ordered on 14 July 2021 is necessary to avoid serious and irreparable damage to the legal order of the Union and the values on which the Union is founded, in particular the values of the rule of law," the CJEU communicated.
At the same time, the EU court defended Poland against the payment of hundreds of millions of zlotys in damages. The Swedish court decided that Poland was to pay not only compensation to the Abris fund. The investor was to receive PLN 720 million. But as a result of the CJEU's decision, he will most likely not see the money. The Court of Justice of the EU quashed the ruling.
