WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's Constitutional Tribunal on Thursday delayed for a fourth time a ruling on whether the country's constitution or European Union treaties take precedence, with critics saying Warsaw may be stalling to try to put pressure on Brussels.

The Tribunal started hearing the case in July but had already adjourned it three times before the Thursday sitting. The Tribunal head, Julia Przylebska, said the sitting will be adjourned until Oct. 7.
