The court partially granted the plaintiff's claim for damages and compensation regarding the unlawful detention of a political prisoner. While the court acknowledged the severe physical and psychological suffering endured during 80 days of imprisonment, it rejected the plaintiff's request for a significantly higher compensation amount due to lack of specific evidence supporting such a high figure. Consequently, the court awarded a fixed sum of 40,000 PLN as adequate reparation for the proven hardships, while dismissing the remainder of the claim.
