Judgment_paragraph 48 · L.G. v Krajowa Rada Sądownictwa (C-718/21)

48In support of its finding of an infringement of Article 6(1) ECHR in that case, the European Court of Human Rights noted, in essence, in paragraphs 281 to 338 of the judgment in Dolińska-Ficek and Ozimek v. Poland, that the appointments of the members of the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs in question were made in manifest breach of fundamental national rules governing the procedure for the appointment of judges. It based that finding, inter alia, on various decisions adopted by the Sąd Najwyższy (Supreme Court), namely a judgment of 5 December 2019 delivered by the Chamber of Labour and Social Security of that court and a resolution of 23 January 2020 adopted jointly by the Civil Chamber, the Criminal Chamber and the Chamber of Labour and Social Security of that court, both adopted following the judgment of the Court of 19 November 2019, A.K. and Others (Independence of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court) (C‑585/18, C‑624/18 and C‑625/18, EU:C:2019:982), and the order of 21 May 2019 by which that same national court had referred a request for a preliminary ruling to the Court in the case which gave rise to the judgment in W.Ż.
