The court found the defendant guilty of a traffic violation and imposed a fine of 700 zlotys. While the defendant was held liable for the full cost of legal representation, the court reduced her burden for expert witness fees by assigning half to the state due to her low income. The decision balances the need to cover necessary investigation costs with the defendant's limited financial capacity.
