Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court quashed the first-instance judgment regarding specific criminal acts but upheld the remainder of the verdict. The prosecution appealed, citing procedural errors and factual mistakes that could affect the judgment's content. The court ruled it lacked the authority to issue a reformatory sentence under the ne peius principle, thus remanding the case for retrial while the state bears costs for the upheld portion.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 454 § 1 k.p.k.; Art. 438 k.p.k.; The appellate court cannot issue a reformatory sentence if it quashes a conviction, as this would violate the ne peius principle requiring the defendant to receive a heavier penalty only if the new sentence is more severe than the original.
