The civil court ordered the defendant insurance company to pay the plaintiff 4,143.85 PLN for vehicle repairs following a fire. The plaintiff argued the fire originated from the defendant's insured vehicle, while the defendant claimed liability was excluded due to lack of fault. The court ruled that the fire constituted damage occurring 'in connection with the movement of a vehicle' under mandatory insurance law, thereby establishing the insurer's liability despite the vehicle being stationary.
