Summary/Abstract: Author approves in the commentary to the judgment the position taken by the Supreme Court of Poland in the decision of 30 September 2015, I KZP 9/15. The Supreme Court considered the problem of composition of the District Court – Labour and Social Security Court adjudicating on an appeal against the judgment of the National Disciplinary Court of the National Chamber of Auditors. As argued in the commentary, the District Court does not instigate disciplinary proceedings from the beginning but continues it as an appellate body. The main disciplinary proceedings are held before the National Disciplinary Court of the National Chamber of Auditors. The District Court although acts as a court of first instance with an appeal to the Court of Appeals, has limited powers only to verification of the National Disciplinary Court’s judgment. Thus, the District Court sits in a three-judges panel (art. 29 § 1 k.p.k.).
