What is the quorum in the Constitutional Tribunal? We explain.

The General Assembly of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, convened by senior judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, will discuss the 2027 budget and disciplinary actions against suspended presidents Bogdan Święczkowski and Bartłomiej Sochański. Legal experts debate the quorum needed for valid decisions, as differing interpretations exist regarding the number of judges required. The assembly typically requires two-thirds of judges present, which could mean at least 10 out of 15 judges. However, with suspensions and the status of newly appointed judges in question, the actual number of participating judges may be lower. Some argue that the quorum could be adjusted based on the interpretation of who constitutes a member of the assembly. The situation remains complex and contentious, with implications for the tribunal's functioning.
