The court decision upheld the claim filed by the Sambir District Prosecutor’s Office in Lviv Oblast.
The court recognized the inaction of the balance holder as unlawful and ordered it to bring the civil defense facility into proper technical condition and readiness for its intended use.
Prosecutors found that there is a radiation shelter in one of the villages of the Turkivska territorial community (Sambir district). The total area of the premises is almost 280 square meters.
According to the technical passport, it can accommodate 300 people.
The balance holder of this civil defense facility is a local government body. The latter, neglecting the safety of people, did not take measures to bring the protective structure into a state of readiness and use it for its intended purpose. Accordingly, the shelter could not be used for its intended purpose.
The court upheld the validity of the prosecutor’s claims and satisfied the claim in full.
After the court decision enters into force, the prosecutor’s office will take measures to ensure that the city council immediately complies with it.
