The court partially granted Z. F.'s claim for damages and compensation resulting from the execution of a 1983 fine against a political dissident. While the court reduced the financial compensation to 8,787.40 PLN by converting the 1983 fine value to net wages, it fully awarded 5,000 PLN for non-material harm. The decision was based on the finding that the fine was an act of repression against the victim's struggle for Poland's independence.
