President of the Court of Arbitration at the Polish Olympic Committee Former Justice Minister: We made a decision as soon as possible – SE.pl

“Super Express”: – Why the decision to suspend sanctions against Lechia was not taken until Friday, at less than a day before the final round of the regular season?
Former Justice Minister: – The Appeals Committee PZPN 5 February remained the decision of the Commission for Licensing Club, which imposed a penalty for Lechia. But the justification came to Gdansk club until March 22, or 47 days later. Already on March 11 Lechia filed a complaint with us, but it was rejected because the applicant had not joined the final decision of the Appeals Committee. For this reason, that it was not. March 31 Lechia again filed a complaint, but … lodged a charge of improper height. April 4th club was ordered to pay the amount and 8 April, when only proper fee received, the Court of Arbitration immediately took up the matter. Consciously we published its position before a Saturday train to clubs joining the game know what the situation is. And what would happen if a final decision on Lechia made – let’s say – a month. You would need to make changes to the table?

– Is it true that the decision to suspend the sentence for Lechia taken individually secretary Piotr Graczyk?
– With provisions that it may take the president of the Court, or a person authorized by him. I have authorized this in writing to the secretary.

– When will the meeting of the Court ultimately prevail case Lechia? Who will rule?
– In the middle of next week. I think soon on Wednesday. Chairman of the bench will be professor assistant professor Jarosław Majewski, judges and lawyer Paul Granecki and patron Peter Sikorski.

– On Sunday morning you talked with the president of the Polish Football Association Zbigniew Boniek. About what?
– President Boniek assured that every day and hour attorney PZPN respond to the summons of the Court. I have the same assurance from the representatives of Lechia. Interview with Mr. Boniek ran in a pleasant atmosphere, the president did not have a letter of regret or blame. He stressed that he is not a lawyer, but in his opinion the matter is non-disciplinary and should not get to us. I explained that the provisions shows that it does not sanction the license, but disciplinary.

– Why after the announcement of the Court’s decision on Lechia lack of communication between you and the Polish Football Association and Ekstraklasa?
– I think that to blame faulty communication PZPN. On Friday the 16 sent by e-mail our resolve to Mrs. Assistant to the President Boniek and Lechia. While the League is not a party in the case and had no obligation to inform her of our decision.
