AI generated

The appellate court partially allowed the defendant's appeal, modifying the first-instance judgment to adjust the process cost award. The court found the defendant's arguments regarding procedural violations inadmissible but agreed that the cost allocation was disproportionate given the plaintiff's 42.8% success rate. Consequently, the court ordered the plaintiff to reimburse the defendant 200 PLN, while dismissing the remainder of the appeal.
