Prof. Romanowski on the ‘Russian commission’: It is a political creation, it may cause irreparable damage

"The decisions of the Russian Influence Investigation Commission mean potential destabilisation for business and citizens, who will spend years pursuing their rights in the courts, including compensation. But it could cause irreparable damage. On the basis of the law passed by the Sejm and signed by the President, private companies and their executives can also be summoned before the commission, as well as trade union activists, representatives of private employers' organisations, opposition party politicians, representatives of associations and foundations helping refugees," warns Professor Michał Romanowski in an interview with Wyborcza.

Business, in order to grow, needs good law, independent courts, stability and security. Protecting rights requires procedural safeguards such as attorney-client privilege, and the law allows the commission to waive these privileges. The only protection appears to be the determination of the unconstitutionality of the provisions of this law through diffuse constitutional review. For this we need politically independent courts and independent judges. Therefore, despite the fact that the essence of our law firm's activity is advising businesses, we have become involved in the fight for independent courts, defending judges Igor Tuleyi, Paweł Juszczyszyn, Ewa Leszczyńska-Furtak, Ewa Gregajtys and Marzanna Piekarska-Drążek, as well as Krzysztof Krygielski, who have faced and continue to face further repression for ruling and acting against the will of the executive.
