The court partially dismissed the plaintiff's claim for a consumer loan, ruling that the excessive fee of 6,271 zł violated good morals under the Civil Code. While the plaintiff argued for the full contract amount, the court found the fee disproportionate to the loan terms and consumer protection laws. Consequently, the judgment awarded only the remaining balance after deducting the invalid fee and prior payments.
