Here is the translation of the legal analysis:
1. Subject of Dispute: Challenging the decision of JSC “Lvivgaz” regarding additional gas charges due to the detection of an unauthorized gas pipeline in the consumer’s house.
2. Main Court Arguments:
– The court deviated from previous practice and established that the mere fact of an unauthorized gas pipeline’s existence is sufficient for qualification, without mandatory proof of meter reading distortion.
– Employees of JSC “Lvivgaz” discovered a pipe inserted into the gas pipeline, which is not accounted for by the meter.
– The plaintiff did not provide convincing evidence of the absence of violation and did not refute the violation report.
3. Court Decision: Uphold the appellate court’s resolution, which satisfies JSC “Lvivgaz” requirements for recovering 211,187.80 UAH for additionally charged gas.
