Court allows prosecutor to propose costs ruling separately when agreement omits cost resolution.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court permitted the prosecutor to propose a separate ruling on litigation costs despite the settlement agreement omitting such a decision. The parties had reached an agreement under Article 335 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which did not address costs, yet the prosecutor included a cost proposal in their request. The court ruled that it could decide on costs differently without following the specific procedure required by Article 343 § 3 because the original agreement did not cover this issue.
