Polish court delays EU law case for motion to exclude judge

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s constitutional court has reopened but then recessed its proceedings in a case over whether Polish or European Union law has primacy in the country. The Constitutional Tribunal said it would take up the question again on Sept. 22. The court’s ruling, when it comes, is expected to define the future relationship of the EU member nation with the rest of the bloc. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki asked for the review after the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that EU law takes precedence over the Polish Constitution. The tribunal announced the three-week recess after a civic rights official made a motion Tuesday to exclude a judge who is a government loyalist.
