Subject of the dispute is the prosecution’s appeal against the first instance court and appellate court judgment in criminal proceedings concerning PERSON_7 under Part 2 of Article 125 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional minor bodily injury).

For this reason, the panel of judges decided to refer the case for consideration to the Joint Chamber of the Cassation Criminal Court, which has the authority to deviate from previous legal positions and form new practice.
The Supreme Court decided to transfer the criminal proceedings for consideration to the Joint Chamber of the Cassation Criminal Court within the Supreme Court.
