The commercial court upheld the claim of the Zolochiv District Prosecutor’s Office against the company. The court decided to terminate the land lease agreement and ordered the company to return the land to the community, as well as to pay the debt for the use of the land plot.
The land in question is agricultural land with an area of 18 hectares. It is located within the Zolochiv territorial community.
It was established that the business entity leased the hayfields in violation of the contract. In particular, it used the disputed land plot for other purposes than its intended purpose, as it was plowed and sown with buckwheat.
The defendant also failed to pay the rent for the use of the land for three years, which resulted in a significant amount of money not being paid to the local budget.
In these circumstances, the court agreed with the prosecutor’s arguments that there were grounds to satisfy the claim in the interests of the state.
