The Court of Appeal partially allowed the defense's appeal regarding legal aid costs, increasing the defendant's liability to 2,760 PLN plus VAT. The defendant argued for a reduction based on the Supreme Court's recent ruling on legal aid, while the prosecution contended for the original amount. The court upheld the increase but waived the defendant's second-instance court costs due to their personal financial situation and prison status.
