The Court of Appeal in Warsaw overturned the lower court's decision imposing a fine on Poczta Polska for alleged consumer harm. The postal service argued it did not violate consumer interests, while the competition authority claimed it failed to meet delivery deadlines. The court agreed with the postal service, finding no evidence of a practice harming collective consumer interests and thus dismissing the penalty.
