Polish judge Piebiak threatens KRS lawsuit over travel costs; council mulls disciplinary action

Judge Łukasz Piebiak has threatened to sue Poland's National Council of the Judiciary (KRS) unless it reimburses his travel costs from Rzeszów, while KRS representatives counter that he faces disciplinary liability for residing outside his court's seat without presidential consent. The dispute escalates tensions between a controversial judge and the judicial oversight body, reflecting ongoing friction in Poland's judiciary reform context.
