Appeal against civil costs ruling dismissed; court upheld lower court's decision on expense allocation.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court dismissed the prosecutor's appeal regarding the allocation of civil litigation costs. The defendant argued that the lower court erred in assigning costs to the victim's representative, who claimed no actual expenses were incurred. The court rejected this argument, ruling that the lower court correctly limited the decision to actual expenditures rather than full representation fees.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 632a § 1 k.p.k.; Art. 632 § 1 k.p.k.: The appellate court may not substitute its own assessment of costs if the lower court's decision is based on verified facts, and the claimant's declaration of zero expenses precludes an order for full representation costs.
