Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court awarded the plaintiffs 205,000 PLN in damages for a building collapse caused by the defendant's improper excavation work. While the liability for the physical damage was confirmed, the court rejected the plaintiffs' request for interest calculated from the original filing date for the additional amount claimed later. The judgment established that interest on the expanded claim only runs from the date the claim was formally amended, while costs were assigned to the losing party.
