Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against the first-instance judgment convicting him of theft. The defendant argued that the sentence was excessively harsh and requested a reduction in court costs, citing his lack of assets and income. The court rejected the claim regarding the sentence's severity but granted the request to exempt the defendant from paying court costs because enforcing them would be disproportionately burdensome given his financial situation.
