The prosecutors discovered the court decision on the claim of individuals to the city council for the recovery from the local self-government body of unreasonably saved funds in favor of the plaintiffs in the total amount of about UAH 2.9 million.
The basis of the lawsuit was the property that the plaintiffs received under the purchase-sale agreement, which the city council included among the communal property objects that were to be privatized through redemption. But through the court, natural persons got rid of it, the commercial court declared the decision and the contract itself invalid.
This became the basis for the plaintiffs’ appeal to recover funds from the city council.
The parties reached an agreement in court, and the settlement agreement was approved by the court decision, and non-residential premises belonging to the territorial community were transferred to the plaintiffs.
However, the court did not take into account that the specified dispute concerns collection from the local budget, and the property, accordingly, is removed from the property of the territorial community not in the manner and not according to the established procedure defined for this by law.
However, the prosecutor’s office monitors court decisions and found an illegal decision, which was appealed.
According to the principled position of the prosecutors, the court of appeal upheld the appeal of the prosecutor’s office and annulled the illegal decision of the local court in the case that approved the settlement agreement.
Under such circumstances, the prosecutors warned against the disposal of real estate with an area of almost 53 square meters from the ownership of the territorial community of Drohobych.
