Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court dismissed the defendant's appeal against a first-instance conviction for keeping pigeons, which caused nuisance to neighbors. Although the defense argued the lower court erred by failing to obtain expert opinions or conduct site inspections, the court found these omissions did not violate procedural law. Ultimately, the case was dismissed because the prosecution had failed to file charges within the two-year limitation period for the offense.
