Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court upheld the payment order for 62,154.95 PLN regarding delay fees under a factoring agreement but partially dismissed the claim for an additional 409.05 PLN. The plaintiff argued that the second bill of exchange covered new delay fees not included in the previous judgment, while the defendants contested the validity of the new claim. The court ruled that the new debt was distinct and valid, but corrected the interest calculation based on the original debt amount, reducing the allowable fee.
