Court reduced fine to contempt of court penalty for unauthorized public poster placement in Poland.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court modified the first-instance judgment by reducing the defendant's fine to a penalty of contempt of court. The defendant appealed, arguing the act did not fully meet the statutory definition of the offense and that procedural errors occurred. The court rejected these claims, upholding the factual findings of unauthorized poster placement while applying special leniency due to the defendant's prior good record and the specific circumstances of the conflict.
