Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court combined multiple prison sentences into a single total term of three years and eight months, accounting for the defendant's good behavior in prison. While the defendant argued for full absorption of terms, the court rejected this, ruling that further absorption would grant an unjustified benefit. Consequently, the court combined the valid sentences but dismissed the procedural attempt to merge a later conviction that occurred after the first judgment.
