Acc to my data = total of 43 preliminary ruling requests (with 3 pending) originating from *lawful* Polish courts raising systemic #ruleoflaw issues. Total doesn't include PR requests from PiS fake 'judges' which cannot be considered 'courts' notwithstanding lenient ECJ stance
Latest ECJ PR cases re #ruleoflaw in Poland:
C-114/23 et al: All 4 requests held inadmissible
C‑647/21 & C‑648/21: For AG Collins, rules that permit non-consensual transfer of judges & unfettered removal of cases ex officio are not compatible with EU law. Important ruling to come
Convincing critique of AG Pikamäe's opinion re the first ever CJEU case re state of the #ruleoflaw & independence of the judiciary in #Croatia (another preliminary ruling case and not a Comm infringement action one may note)
