EU court orders Poland to suspend judicial overhaul law 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersLUXEMBOURG/WARSAW (Reuters) – The European Union’s top court ruled on Monday that Poland must immediately suspend a law that forced some Supreme Court judges to retire, drawing a line under a dispute between Warsaw and Brussels. Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party had already agreed to scrap the law that lowered the judges’ retirement age, after the European Court of Justice issued an interim judgment against the legislation in October. But as it prepares for national elections next year, it has shown signs of softening its position on a number of issues. President Andrzej Duda, an ally of the ruling party, said late on Monday he had approved revamped legislation to reverse the change to the judges’ retirement age.
