🔥🌲 The state is reclaiming 1,6 ha of forest in Kozyn: after a year of procedural battles the court will again consider the lawsuit against FC “Forint”
⚖️🌲 The Commercial Court of Kyiv Region resumed the case in which the prosecutor’s office is demanding the return to the state of 1,6 ha of land in Kozyn with cadastral number 3223155400:06:006:0013. According to the prosecutor’s version, the private plot completely overlaps state forest lands designated for forestry use, which are under the management of Lisiv Ukrainy. The prosecutor cites a previous court case that established the unjustified acquisition of rights to this land by its first private owner as early as 2007. The current owner of the plot is LLC “Financial Company ‘Forint’,” 100% of which belongs to Yevhen Ishchenko; the company is headed by Oleksii Vasylyev.
💰⚖️ For almost a year before the merits of the land dispute were considered, the courts argued about something else: whether the state must first deposit the full value of the plot with the court if it wants to reclaim it. The first instance court, due to the absence of an appraisal and a deposit, left the claim without consideration, but the appeal court overturned that decision, and on 4 August the Supreme Court denied Forint’s cassation. This is not yet a decision to return the land: the court must now establish the circumstances of how the plot was acquired and, in particular, the question of the current owner’s good faith. The next preparatory hearing is scheduled for 5 October.
