Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court partially upheld the appeal against a first-instance judgment, increasing the awarded damages to 10,000 PLN. The appellant argued for a change in the legal qualification and a disproportionate penalty, while the defense contested the procedural errors. The court found the increase justified but dismissed the other claims, ultimately exempting the defendant from court costs due to her difficult financial situation.
