Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court ruled that the combined sentence for the defendant must be calculated using the law in force prior to June 24, 2020, as it was more lenient. The defendant committed multiple crimes between 2015 and 2021, with some convictions occurring before and others after the legislative change regarding combined punishment. The court determined that applying the older statutory framework resulted in a lighter penalty for the accused compared to the new regulations.
