⚖️🇵🇱 The European Court of Human Rights judgment in the case Xero Flor sp. z o.o. v Poland - violation of art. 6 § 1 of the Convention on the count of an illegally appointed judge of Polish Constitutional Tribunal presiding over a case. (1/3) 
This is an earthquake on many counts - the first assessment of the situation in the Polish Constitutional Tribunal by ECtHR, a rare look by Strasbourg into a constitutional court, and a verdict that strikes at the heart of the takeover of the Tribunal by the ruling party. (2/3)
Beyond all the legal ramifications, the applicant in this case makes history - a private company producing rolling grass carpets for your roof or balcony fights successfully for the rule of law in Poland. Poetic, if anything. (3/3)
If anybody is expecting a complete analysis of the judgment right away, well, it's 110 pages long including a partly concurring/partly dissenting opinion of the Polish Judge K. Wojtyczek. This will take a moment. (4/3)
Also, peak Strasbourg. (5/3)
