The case dates back to 2018, erstwhile a married couple surviving close the school filed a complaint about sound and excessive field lighting. The court then banned the usage of eagles to persons who are not students of this school, including adults and sports clubs.

However, the matrimony re-appealed the case to court, requesting a fine of PLN 15,000 for the city. The Pulawy territory Court dismissed the application, but the matrimony appealed against that decision.
In December 2023, Lublin territory Court imposed a fine of PLN 5 1000 on the city. president Paul Maj declared from the beginning that the town hall was not going to pay it. In this situation, the punishment was changed to 5 days of detention for the individual representing the city, i.e. president Puławy. The deadline was agreed with the bailiff at 7 April this year.
In an interview with the Polish Press Agency, Paweł Maj confirmed that next Monday he would appear at the gate of the prison in Opole Lublin, where he would hold 5 days of detention. — I take leave of absence from work for those days. Out of my own pocket, I'm paying for remanding and being in custody. – he said.
When asked about the reasons for this decision, the president hoped that this symbolic word would "open the eyes of decision-makers, Members, ministers and mobilise them to act to change the law." — There are 2.6 1000 eagles in Poland and, in fact, all locality, the municipality is exposed to the fact that individual will sue noises from the field, and children outside of school will not be allowed into the area,” explained Maj.
President Puławy: Heartless, crippled law
President Puławy's information besides confirmed in the social media entry. “A soulless, crippled law that strikes right into the childand. Over the years, sentences that are absurd go on. Paying the city a fine for children being able to practice on a school field would be sanctioning injustice," he wrote.
‘My time is simply a symbol. A conscious choice. The city could pay PLN 5000 and the case would pass without an echo. But then no 1 would hear about it, and injustice would continue. I believe that my motion will open the eyes of the decision-makers and mobilise them to change. due to the fact that children should have the right to sports and leisure without hindrance," he added.
“If no 1 responds, nothing will change”
According to the President, this is simply a large injustice, and paying the fine would be acceptable, due to the fact that children should have the right to sports and leisure without obstacles. “ If no of us respond, nothing will change,” he pointed out in a conversation with PAP.
The legal advisor of the Pulawy City Hall Ernest Stolar told PAP that, in connection with the final decision of the court, the usage of the eagle had been restricted for the time being. — Students can presently usage the field during school hours. So far, there have been no further complaints from neighbors, he added.
