Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe District Court in Poznań declared itself incompetent to hear the case against defendants A.D. and R.W. for perjury under Article 233 of the Criminal Code. Although the prosecutor correctly identified the crime, they erroneously designated the District Court as the proper first-instance tribunal. The court ruled that the Regional Court is the exclusive venue for perjury trials and transferred the file accordingly.
