Is retirement compulsory? Obligatory retirement of bailiffs delayed by 5 years
The age of a mandatory retirement is presently 65 years for bailiffs. This means that they are recalled from their position erstwhile they have achieved it. As the Ministry of Justice explains, by amending the rules, they will regain their ability to work in the profession by the age of 70, as it was before 2019. At the same time, it should be stressed that this does not affect the retirement age itself. If a individual wishes to quit after reaching a universal retirement age (60 years for women or 65 years for men), he will of course have the right to do so. The amendment to the Law on Judicial Remnants only concerns the advanced limit of professional activity.
However, this is an crucial change. This will, above all, destruct discrimination on grounds of age from legislation. In another legal professions, the limit is just 70 years. But this is not the end of the benefits.
Extending the professional activity of bailiffs will besides let for better usage of their cognition and experience and will contribute to the conclusion of litigation relating to prior appeal
- stressed Minister of Justice Adam Bodnar in May, quoted in the authoritative ministry's communication. What else will change this amendment?


The fresh law on bailiffs will make more changes. This is about the duration of the repo assessure
The amendment of the law on judicial bailiffs will besides destruct the current maximum six-year duration of the Asesury, which is the time preparing for the profession of judicial bailiff. Assessors will have unlimited time to gain practice. The Ministry of Justice notes that workers will thus gain greater flexibility in career planning, and for the enforcement strategy this will mean staff stability. Assessors' actions are crucial support for carrying out the tasks assigned to the bailiffs, so forcing them to complete the assessure frequently meant simply losing a qualified person.
