Poland SC judges return to work after EU court ruling

WARSAW: Poland's Supreme Court chief justice asked 23 of the court's judges to return to work on Monday, days after the European Union's top court ordered Poland to"immediately suspend"their retirement under a disputed law. The European Commission, the bloc's executive arm, took Poland's government to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for lowering the age at which Supreme Court judges must retire from 70 to 65. The ECJ ordered a temporary suspension of the retirement law on Friday, saying it threatened judicial independence. (AFP)
