WARSAW—Poland must pay 1 million euros ($1.16 million) a day for maintaining a disciplinary chamber for judges, the European Union’s top court said on Wednesday, in the latest episode of a clash over the rule of law with implications for Warsaw’s future ties with the bloc.
The long-running conflict over Poland’s judicial reforms that the bloc says undermine the independence of the courts deepened this year, raising questions over the future place of the EU’s largest eastern member in the union.
