The court awarded the plaintiff a legacy of 4,610.23 zł, representing one-sixth of the net estate value, while dismissing the remainder of the claim. The plaintiff initially sought 15,000 zł but later reduced the demand to 8,764.22 zł after discovering the actual estate value and debts. The court rejected the difference between the reduced claim and the statutory entitlement, ordering the defendant to pay only the calculated legacy plus the net difference in litigation costs.
