Polish Supreme Court head moves to shield disputed neo-judges from status challenges

Zbigniew Kapiński, acting first president of Poland's Supreme Court and himself a contested neo-judge, has proposed a full-court resolution to bar questioning of neo-judges' status, with a vote expected in early November. The move would entrench the judicial appointments made under the previous government, deepening the rule-of-law conflict with the EU. The resolution's adoption is uncertain but would mark a significant consolidation of the disputed judicial framework.
