Civil court partially allows death compensation claims while awarding process costs based on litigation success ratio.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe civil court partially dismissed the plaintiffs' claims for death compensation while awarding specific monetary sums to each plaintiff. The plaintiffs sought substantial damages for the deaths of their daughter and granddaughter, arguing for a total of over 113,000 PLN. The court granted partial relief based on the proven facts but rejected the remaining portions of the claims. Consequently, the court calculated process costs by weighing the plaintiffs' success against the defendant's partial liability, ordering the defendant to pay the winners' share of expenses and the state to cover the defendant's unrecovered costs.
