Glosa do wyroku Sądu Apelacyjnego w Warszawie z dnia 14 czerwca 2023 r., II AKa 272/22, dotyczącego zadośćuczynienia za niewątpliwie niesłuszne zatrzymanie (aprobująca)

In the glossed decision, the Court of Appeals addressed the issue of compensation for unquestionably wrongful arrest. The Court of Appeals, while awarding the amount of PLN 15,000 on this ground, stated that it is adequate to the duration of deprivation of liberty, the physical suffering and negative psychological experiences suffered by the claimant, while also corresponding to the current socio-economic realities in Poland, without causing undue enrichment. The approving gloss to this ruling refers more extensively to the required standards regarding arrest and the procedural guarantees to which a detained person is entitled. Separate considerations concern the criteria for measuring compensation for unquestionably wrongful arrest.
