The court convicted the defendant, M.K., of assault against his partner A.K., finding her injuries proven by medical evidence and witness testimony. Although the defense argued the victim provoked the fight and the defendant only pushed back, the court rejected this, noting the defendant's physical advantage and failure to stop after being struck. Consequently, the court imposed a fine of 125 daily rates and ordered 1,000 PLN in compensation, while also awarding the victim the legal costs of the proceedings.
