Subject of Dispute: Recognition of Property Rights to an Apartment in Kyiv.
Main Arguments of the Court: First, the court emphasized that an attorney’s powers can be confirmed not only by a formally impeccable warrant but also by other documents, including a legal assistance agreement. Second, the existence of a certificate of the right to practice law, which has not been revoked, is sufficient confirmation of the representative’s status. Third, the court pointed out that formal deficiencies in the warrant cannot be grounds for depriving a person of the right to judicial protection.
Court Decision: The Supreme Court left the cassation appeal unsatisfied and supported the previous ruling of the appellate court to send the case for further consideration.
