Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court partially upheld the defense lawyer's appeal, increasing their fee from the first-instance ruling to 841.32 PLN.

The court agreed to raise the fee and ordered the state to reimburse the lawyer for costs incurred during the appeal, while exempting the defendant from court costs due to their financial hardship.
