The Supreme Court's questions awaiting preliminary ruling were received by the European Court of Justice on Thursday - informed Ireneusz Kolowca from the ECJ's press office.
"The ECJ doesn't issue any comments, at any stage of the the pending case," added Mr Kolowca.
Polish Supreme Court (SN) sent five questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on Monday and asked for a preliminary ruling.
The questions concern the provision of the Supreme Court law regarding sending judges aged 65 or older to retirement, including the court's president Małgorzata Gersdorf.
The SN issued a resolution suspending the execution of the questioned law until the CJEU passes its ruling.
Polish Judiciary Council responded with a statement that it's not going to submit to the resolution.
The judiciary council is yet another institution that criticises the ruling of the Supreme Court. The first insitutuion to do so was the Chancellery of the President.
"This ruling may lead to absurd situations. Any court, giving any verdict will be able to suspend any bill or part of it," said the spokesperson for the President, Krzysztof Łapiński.
The ECJ might answer the questions sent by the Polish court faster, thanks to a special accelerated procedure. Whether the European court chooses this procedure, will be known in the beginning of September.
