Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court upheld the first-instance verdict convicting the defendant of assault while granting a procedural change regarding court costs. The defense argued for a full retrial due to procedural errors, but the court found no such impact on the verdict's substance. Consequently, the conviction stands, but the defendant is exempted from paying appeal costs, which are instead borne by the state.
