The court issued a joint judgment combining five separate final convictions for tax offenses committed by the defendant. The defendant argued for specific sentencing considerations, while the prosecution contended for a unified penalty reflecting the cumulative nature of the crimes. The court applied the mixed principle of partial cumulation and partial absorption, setting the daily fine rate at 110 zlotys based on the defendant's recidivism and subjective fault.
