comma before that [relative pronoun]: a deal struck down by..., that

Have just seen this in the news. It seems wrong to place a comma before 'that'.

The new interim agreement will replace a deal struck down by the European Court of Justice in May, that allowed the US access to 34 pieces of data.


Either remove the comma or add an additional comma after deal. The two commas would be the equivalent of brackets around the phrase, "struck down ... in May". If you have the one, you must have the other also.
Looks like some Pole has got his hands on this text, as in Polish a comma is absolutely mandatory before words like that... or which!
