"He did not take an oath before the president." The court ruled in the case against the Constitutional Tribunal

The court ruled that Professor Jakubecki did not take an oath before the president, thus he cannot assume the role of a Constitutional Tribunal judge. This decision stems from the controversial selection of judges in 2015, where the legality of their appointments was questioned. The court emphasized that without the oath, there is no employment relationship or entitlement to retirement benefits. Jakubecki argued that if his lawsuit is dismissed, it implies his term never started, allowing him to potentially reapply for the position. The absence of the Tribunal's representative during the hearing raised procedural questions. Previously, another professor's similar lawsuit was rejected by the court.
