- Abstract
- On 15 March 2022, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (hereafter “the Court”) found Poland in violation of Article 6(1) (right to a fair trial) of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“ECHR”) in the case of Grzęda v. Poland. There have been several judgments issued by the Chamber of the First section of the Court on the independence of the judiciary in Poland in relation to the various judicial reforms that have taken place (see Xero Flor w Polsce sp. z o.o. v. Poland, discussed here, Broda and Bojara v. Poland, and Reczkowicz v. Poland, discussed here). Nevertheless, while the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the European Union has already examined several times the contested Polish judicial reforms (see, for instance, the case Commission v. Poland), Grzeda is the first judgment rendered in Strasbourg by the Grand Chamber.
