The court granted a partial claim for compensation and legal fees against the state for an unlawful detention. The plaintiff argued for a higher sum citing prolonged detention and lack of toilet access, but the court found her suffering not extraordinary given her perception of the officers' behavior. Consequently, the court awarded 2,000 PLN for the detention and 288 PLN for legal representation costs, dismissing the remainder of the request as excessive.
