Court acquits defendant of unfair competition charge due to lack of dissemination intent.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Regional Court in Nys acquitted the defendant of the offense of spreading false information under the Unfair Competition Act. The court found that while the defendant conveyed negative claims to a single individual, there was no evidence he intended for those claims to be disseminated further to the public. Consequently, the essential element of 'spreading' was missing, leading to a complete lack of criminal intent and a dismissal of the charges.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 54 Kodeksu wykroczeń; Art. 26 ust. 2 ustawy o zwalczaniu nieuczciwej konkurencji: The act of spreading false information requires an intent to disseminate it to others; mere transmission to a single person without such intent does not constitute the offense.
