Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the private prosecution against the defendant for insult and harassment, finding the statute of limitations had expired for the alleged insult. While the defendant's actions of blocking access and making vulgar remarks were acknowledged, the evidence failed to prove the specific intent required for the charge of insult. Consequently, the criminal proceedings were terminated, and the victim was ordered to bear the process costs.
