The law firm Romanowski i Wspólnicy has obtained an unprecedented ruling ordering the reinstatement of judge Pawel Juszczyszyn in his 'home' - the civil department. The judge, after a long battle to return to adjudication, was 'punitively exiled' from the civil department, where he had tried for many years, to the family department. The ruling, issued yesterday by the District Court in Bydgoszcz as part of the so-called security measure, is intended to allow the judge to work in the civil department for the duration of the trial, which began with a lawsuit filed by Paweł Juszczyszyn and his attorney Prof. Michał Romanowski to establish the ineffectiveness of the transfer to the family department and for harassment.

The decision of the court in Bydgoszcz gives hope to other unlawfully transferred, harassed and victimised judges!
We continue to fight for independent courts, which are the guarantor of freedom of doing business in Poland.

"I will not be broken, I continue to do my job. The proceedings initiated by me and the lawyers helping me pro bono show that pressure makes sense. And with enough determination victory is possible." Paweł Juszczyszyn

"This is yet another precedent-setting ruling that shows that the increasingly applied repression of harassment of judges, through their 'punitive reassignment' from their home departments - where they have adjudicated for years - to other departments, can be challenged." Adv. Prof. Michał Romanowski
