Subject of Dispute: The Prosecutor’s Office challenges the minutes of the State Commission on Mineral Reserves and the special permit for subsoil use issued to LLC “Granite Blacksi”.
Main Court Arguments: The Supreme Court considers that a change in judicial practice regarding the procedural capacity of the prosecutor is not a valid reason for restoring an expired court appeal deadline. The court emphasized that the prosecutor had the opportunity to file a lawsuit in a timely manner, and references to changes in law enforcement do not exempt from compliance with procedural timeframes. Moreover, the court underscored the importance of the legal certainty principle and the need to discipline judicial process participants.
Court Decision: The Supreme Court left the prosecutor’s cassation appeal unsatisfied, supporting the decisions of previous instances to return the statement of claim due to missed procedural timeframe.
