The EU's Court of Justice has decided that Poland's choice to lower judges' retirement ages negated EU law, in another misfortune to the administration's offered to change the legal executive.

The Polish remote service reacted by saying the law had been changed. As the decision "identifies with an old circumstance" it said the grievance ought to have been pulled back.

What the Court has said
The Luxembourg-based court said that under EU law judges and investigators were qualified for equivalent compensation and treatment for equivalent work. It dismissed a Polish contention that it was applying positive separation.

Why this isn't the finish of the story
By Adam Easton, BBC Warsaw reporter
The Court's decision is another blow for the PiS in its long-running question with the European Commission over legal change.
In June, the Court of Justice decided that Poland overstepped EU law by bringing down the retirement age for Supreme Court judges as well, a change that constrained around 33% of Supreme Court judges into early retirement. In the two cases, Law and Justice switched the progressions under the steady gaze of the Luxembourg court declared its decision, so practically speaking the present decision changes pretty much nothing.
The really milestone administering is expected to be reported in the not so distant future, for a situation that will go directly to the core of PiS' legal changes.
Clean judges are designated by the National Judicial Council (NCJ), a body that should shield the freedom of the legal executive, and which up to this point comprised of a dominant part of judges chose by their companions.
In 2018, the decision gathering changed the law with the goal that most of judges sitting on the NCJ were named by the lower place of parliament, which Law and Justice controls. This has prompted Poland's NCJ having its participation of the European Network of Councils for the Judiciary suspended on the grounds it is never again politically autonomous.
The case likewise influences Poland's Supreme Court in light of the fact that another administration change made two new chambers for the court that have been filled by judges named by the new, politically designated NCJ.
On the off chance that the Court decides that those progressions violated EU law, as a lawful counsel to the court has just stated, at that point the administration could be compelled to invert some key components of its legal change.
Why Poland is staying insubordinate
Poland's administration, re-chose just a month ago, is as yet attempting to switch the make-up of the legal executive.
On Monday the administration selected three new judges, including two previous hardline Law and Justice MPs, to Poland's Constitutional Court.
One of the candidates is previous socialist time investigator, Stanislaw Piotrowicz, who arraigned a restriction lobbyist during the 1980s. Pundits have called attention to that a key defense for the decision gathering's legal changes was the need to get rid of socialist time judges, Adam Easton reports.
Another candidate, Krystyna Pawlowicz, has focused on Poland's restriction, utilizing jargon, for example, "homos" and "eco-psychological oppressors".
Poland's encounter with the EU's official body is additionally set to proceed.
In April, the European Commission alluded Poland to the Court of Justice once more, blaming the administration for undermining the autonomy of Polish judges.
The Commission said Polish judges were being exposed to disciplinary examinations based on their decisions and it contended that the disciplinary procedure was supervised by judges chose by a board selected by MPs.
