The appellate court modified the first-instance judgment by eliminating the charge regarding four liquid storage tanks and reducing the fine to 100 zloty. The defense argued that the new law in effect at the time of judgment rendered the tanks non-measuring devices, while the prosecution noted the tanks were used solely for storage. The court agreed that the tanks did not constitute measuring instruments under the new regulation but upheld the conviction for the separate rigid gauge, which required metrological certification.
