Subject of Dispute: Recognition of Inheritance as Unclaimed and Transfer of Ownership to Dnipro City Council.
Main Arguments of the Court:
1. The Supreme Court deviated from previous practice and established that in the case of alienation of inherited property, the territorial community is entitled only to monetary compensation, not the property itself.
2. The Court concluded that claims to invalidate agreements and registration records are not an appropriate method of protecting the territorial community’s rights.
3. Since there is no evidence of bad faith on the part of the last property acquirer among the grounds of the claim, the territorial community can only claim compensation for its value at market prices.
Court Decision: Deny Dnipro City Council’s claim for recognition of inheritance as unclaimed and transfer of ownership to the community.
