Expert Report on the Condition of the Polish Judiciary (November 2025)
Reference: SP-01-11-25-ENG
Guardians of Polish & Christian Heritage presents a newly published expert report assessing the current condition of the judiciary in the Republic of Poland as of November 2025.
The document has been prepared in response to increasing concerns regarding systemic deficiencies affecting the independence, legality and proper functioning of Polish courts.
This report provides a detailed, evidence-based analysis relevant to international legal proceedings, including UK extradition cases governed by the Extradition Act 2003, the Human Rights Act 1998, and Articles 3 and 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Overview of the Report
The findings demonstrate that the Polish judiciary is currently affected by:
-
a dual and inconsistent system of judicial appointments,
-
continued operation of judges appointed through an unlawful National Council of the Judiciary (KRS),
-
the presence of individuals who never validly assumed judicial office due to defective oaths,
-
political pressure exerted through disciplinary mechanisms and administrative interference,
-
contradictory rulings among constitutional bodies creating legal instability,
-
systemic issues related to coercive and prolonged pre-trial detention.
These issues reveal persistent and structural deficiencies that undermine the guarantees of a fair trial before an independent and impartial tribunal established by law.
Key Conclusion
Applying the British legal standard of a “real risk of a flagrant denial of justice”, the report clearly concludes:
There exists a real, foreseeable and evidence-based risk that individuals surrendered from the United Kingdom to Poland may be tried by judicial panels that are unlawfully constituted, politically influenced or structurally compromised.
Accordingly, extradition to Poland cannot be considered safe under current conditions and may expose individuals to violations of Articles 3 and 6 ECHR.
Purpose and Use of the Report
This expert assessment may serve as:
-
supporting evidence in UK extradition proceedings,
-
reference material for practitioners of international and human-rights law,
-
a systemic analysis of developments affecting the rule of law in Poland,
-
documentation of ongoing risks to individuals facing prosecution in Poland.
