Biernat, Stanisław Verfassungsblog 2018-07-28 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier Immediately after it was published, the judgment in Case C‑216/18 PPU Minister for Justice and Equality v. LM generated many varied assessments in Poland.  Some commentators treated the judgment as a general vote of no confidence against the Polish judiciary whilst others (including the Minister of Justice) found it to be a defeat of the Irish court. The judgment is used as an argument in current political disputes.
