Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appeal court vacated the first-instance judgment's order for the defendant to pay 971.48 PLN in court costs while maintaining the criminal conviction. The defense argued that the costs were unjustified, but the court found no procedural error warranting a full retrial. Consequently, the specific costs ruling was set aside, leaving the defendant free from that financial liability.
