Legislator summary

AI generated

The court granted the lawyer a fee of 221.40 PLN from the state budget to represent four minors in a criminal proceeding that was subsequently dismissed. Although the lawyer requested a higher amount based on the number of clients, the court found the additional work effort not sufficiently demonstrated. The decision rests on the principle that representing multiple parties with shared interests does not automatically justify increased compensation without proof of extra labor.
