Disciplinary court suspends Warsaw lawyer Maciej Z. from professional duties
The disciplinary court at the Warsaw Bar Council has made a decision to suspend lawyer Maciej Z. from the right to practise his profession. The resolution applies for the entire period during which the defence counsel remains in remand custody.
The imposed sanction was announced by Michał Pratkowski, acting as the spokesperson for the disciplinary court. Details concerning the charges underlying the remand in custody were not disclosed in this communication.
Suspension from professional duties is a standard consequence of remand in custody for lawyers. It means a complete ban on providing legal assistance to clients, representing them before courts, and performing any other professional activities covered by the lawyer's monopoly.
The disciplinary court's decision is immediately enforceable and does not require a prior final judgment in criminal proceedings. Return to professional practice will only be possible after the remand is lifted or a final judgment is issued, depending on further decisions by the relevant authorities.
