Subject of Dispute: Ryasne-Ruska Village Council challenges the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on its inclusion in the Lviv United Territorial Community.
Main Arguments of the Court:
1. The court considers that closing the proceedings is premature, as the issue of the legality of terminating the Ryasne-Ruska Village Council as a legal entity is a subject of disputed legal relations.
2. The Supreme Court deviates from previous practice and notes that formal closure of the case without consideration on the merits does not correspond to the purpose of justice and effective protection of rights.
3. The court emphasizes that the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine actually changes the territorial organization of the community’s population without taking into account the community’s opinion.
Court Decision: Cancel the decisions of previous instances and refer the case for a new review to the court of first instance.
