Judgment_paragraph 73 · M.F. v J.M (C-508/19)

73In that regard, it is important to note that, after the present request for a preliminary ruling was brought, the Court held that Article 110(3) and Article 114(7) of the Law on the ordinary courts, inasmuch as they confer on the President of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Sąd Najwyższy (Supreme Court) the discretionary power to designate the disciplinary tribunal with territorial jurisdiction to hear disciplinary proceedings in respect of judges of the ordinary courts, that is to say, judges who may be called upon to interpret and apply EU law, do not meet the requirement derived from the second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU that such cases must be examined by a tribunal ‘established by law’ (judgment of 15 July 2021, Commission v Poland (Disciplinary regime for judges), C‑791/19, EU:C:2021:596, paragraph 176).
