The court upheld a claim filed by the Stryi District Prosecutor’s Office against a resident of Lviv to return a water fund land plot to municipal ownership.
This is a plot of land with a total area of 0.35 hectares, located within the Rozhanka River. The latter is located on the territory of the Slavske territorial community.
Prosecutors established that the local government illegally transferred the above land plot to the defendant for free.
However, the village council did not take into account the fact that the land located near the water body is within the river’s coastal protection zone. Accordingly, this contradicts both the requirements of land and water legislation.
Given the violation of the law, the prosecutor’s office defended the interests of the state and filed a lawsuit to the court to invalidate the decision of the village council and cancel the property right.
The court agreed with the prosecutor’s arguments and satisfied the claim in full.
After the court decision enters into force, the prosecutor’s office will take measures to enforce it immediately.
