27 January 2025

In the period 2022-2024, the Supreme Court in 155 cases (including 129 cassation judgments) repealed the challenged judgment and referred the case for re-examination solely due to the composition of the court that had issued the judgment, without any objections to its substantive correctness. The judgments were repealed due to improper composition of the court (Article 439 § 1(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure) because, when issuing them, the adjudicating bench included a judge appointed after 2018. In the year 2024 alone, there were 120 such cases (including 99 cassation judgments).
