Subject of Dispute: Challenging the Decision of the Zaporizhzhia City Council on Amending the Procedure for Leasing Municipal Property.
Main Arguments of the Court:
1. The Decision of the Zaporizhzhia City Council bears signs of a normative legal act, as it establishes general rules for regulating relations regarding the lease of municipal property.
2. The Supreme Court deviates from the previous practice of appellate courts and clearly defines that such disputes fall under the jurisdiction of administrative courts.
3. The Court emphasized that the local self-government body makes decisions within the framework of authoritative management functions, and therefore the dispute has a public law nature.
Court Decision: To cancel the ruling of the appellate administrative court and refer the case for a new review.
