The court partially dismissed the plaintiff's claim for 11,141.70 PLN against a defendant regarding a consumer loan secured by a blank check. While the court recognized the validity of the loan agreement, it found that specific fees totaling 7,571 PLN and associated penalties were abusive and violated good morals due to their arbitrary and excessive nature. Consequently, the court awarded the plaintiff 3,270.70 PLN for the legitimate portion of the debt, dismissed the claim for the abusive fees, and ordered the defendant to bear part of the litigation costs.
