In the Republic of Poland, military courts exercise judicial power and their judges are independent and subject only to the Constitution of Poland and legal acts. The judge of a military court is obliged to serve their country faithfully, uphold the law, perform entrusted duties conscientiously, decide impartially on the basis of legal regulations and be guided by the principles of dignity and integrity. Apart from technical competences, the judge should possess the appropriate traits of the character allowing for the dignified representation in the office. One of the responsibilities (being independent from the others) that is imposed on any judge of a military court is disciplinary liability. The prerequisite for such liability is committing an offense or a disciplinary misdemeanour. That is why, the disciplinary tort includes, among other things, the breach of judicial duties, the breach of dignity of the office, the violation of military discipline, and the breach of the principles of military honour and dignity. This may even result in discharging from the office along depriving the judge of their office rank.
