Subject of Dispute: Criminal Case Regarding a Person Who Committed Several Thefts and Illegal Intrusions into Private Possessions during Martial Law.
Main Arguments of the Court: The Court established that for one of the theft episodes (theft of a bicycle worth 950 hryvnias), criminal liability is absent due to changes in legislation that raised the threshold value of property for criminal liability. At the same time, due to the method of committing the crime – intrusion into premises – the person’s actions were reclassified under the article on illegal entry into housing. The Court took into account that the purpose of punishment is not only punishment, but also the correction of the convicted person.
Court Decision: Reclassify the person’s actions and impose a punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of 6 years.
