Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court combined three separate judgments for theft into a single sentence of one year and eight months imprisonment. The defendant argued for a cumulative calculation method, but the court rejected this because the offender had already served time for prior convictions and was functioning well in prison. Consequently, the court applied the addition method, equating one month of liberty restriction to 15 days of imprisonment, to determine the final penalty.
