A planned general assembly of judges at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal failed to take place Wednesday due to a dispute over quorum. Judges appointed by the Sejm (parliament) attended the session, but Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski requested they leave. The Tribunal later stated the meeting was cancelled because two judges did not sign the attendance sheet, resulting in a lack of quorum. However, those judges claim Święczkowski used the missing signatures as a pretext to prevent the meeting from occurring. The incident highlights ongoing tensions within the Tribunal regarding its composition and operation. This disruption adds to a series of controversies surrounding the independence and legitimacy of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal.
