Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court ordered the State to pay 20,000 PLN in damages and 3,243 PLN in medical costs to the plaintiff following her wrongful detention. While the plaintiff requested higher amounts, the court found the awarded sum objectively reasonable given the duration of the detention and the reputational harm caused. Consequently, the remainder of the claim was dismissed as the awarded compensation sufficiently compensated the suffering without unjust enrichment.
