Case description

Mirosław Garlicki, Application No. 36921/07, judgment of 14/06/2011, final on 14/09/2011

Stokłosa, Application No. 32602/08, judgment of 03/11/2011, final on 03/02/2012

Pohoska, Application No. 33530/06, judgment of 10/01/2012, final on 10/04/2012

The cases Mirosław Garlicki v. Poland and Stokłosa v. Poland concern the violation of the applicants’ right to liberty and security as the assessors (junior judges) who detained them on remand, did not offer the guarantees of independence required of an “officer” by Article 5 § 3 of the Convention (violation of Article 5

§

3 of the Convention).

In the case Pohoska v. Poland the applicant’s right to an independent tribunal was violated due to the fact that the trial court, which ruled in August 2005 on a criminal charge against her, was composed of an assessor (violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention).

The European Court noted that the Polish Constitutional Court, already in its judgment of 24/10/2007, had considered that the possibility of conferring the exercise of judicial powers on assessors, provided for under Article 135 § 1 of the Law of 2001 on the Organisation of Courts (

ustawa Prawo o ustroju sądów powszechnych,

“the 2001 Act”), fell short of constitutional requirements because assessors did not enjoy the necessary guarantees of independence, notably vis-à-vis the Minister of Justice.

The European Court considered that the assessor in the applicants’ cases lacked independence, as they could have been removed by the Minister of Justice at any time during their term of office and that there were therefore no adequate guarantees protecting them against the arbitrary exercise of that power by the Minister.

The applicants in cases Mirosław Garlicki v. Poland and Stokłosa v. Poland

are no longer detained on remand. The European Court indicated that in the Stokłosa

case the finding of a violation constituted in itself sufficient just satisfaction for any non-pecuniary damage suffered.

Concerning the Pohoska

case, domestic law provides for a possibility of reopening of criminal proceedings when such a need results,

inter alia

, from a judgment of the Court (Article 540 § 3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). Formal proceedings, for example related to the imposition of detention on remand, not terminated with a decision on merits, cannot be reopened.

In these circumstances, no other individual measure appears necessary.

II.

General measures

These cases are similar to the case Henryk Urban and Ryszard Urban v. Poland, Application No.

23614/08, in which the Committee has closed its supervision, see: DH-DD(2011)683E, CM/ResDH(2012)197.

In these circumstances, no further general measure appears necessary.

III.

Conclusions of the respondent State

The government considers that no individual measures are necessary in the present case and that the general measures adopted, notably the legislative changes, will be sufficient to conclude that Poland has complied with its obligations under Article 46, paragraph 1 of the Convention in respect to the breach of Article 6, paragraph 1 of the Convention.
