This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Artur Daniel Celmer was granted leave to appeal directly to the Supreme Court on 20 February 2019 in a European arrest warrant case. The appeal concerns his proposed surrender to Poland and whether systemic concerns about judicial independence establish a real risk of a flagrant denial of justice. The High Court had ordered his surrender on three European arrest warrants, finding that deficiencies in Poland’s judiciary were not, by themselves or with the other evidence, sufficient to refuse it.
