The Supreme Court’s position

According to Onet and TVN24, the decision to dismiss the complaints was made single-handedly by Supreme Court judge Zbigniew Korzeniewski.

As these media outlets report, the reasoning of the ruling states that the Supreme Court is not the competent authority for this case, since the jurisdiction of the Professional Responsibility Chamber does not extend to Constitutional Tribunal judges.
