The court awarded 15,000 PLN in compensation for the plaintiff's unlawful detention from March 20 to 22, 2023, while dismissing the remainder of the claim as excessive. The plaintiff argued for 45,000 PLN, whereas the prosecutor requested only 5,000 PLN, but the court found the 15,000 figure appropriate for the infringement of personal freedom. Consequently, the court ordered the State Treasury to pay the awarded sum plus interest and covered the plaintiff's legal costs.
