Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court upheld the first-instance judgment convicting the defendant of speeding and imposing a 2,000 zloty fine. The defendant argued for leniency, but the court found the evidence of exceeding the 50 km/h limit by 62 km/h in a built-up area conclusive. Consequently, the court rejected the appeal, maintaining that the penalty was appropriate given the severity of the violation and the defendant's financial capacity.
