Subject of the Dispute: A Military Serviceman Challenges the Decision of the Joint Housing Commission of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Regarding the Refusal to Exclude a Service Apartment for Permanent Residence.
Main Arguments of the Court: The Supreme Court deviated from previous practice and clearly defined that disputes concerning housing provision for military servicemen are administrative. The Court was guided by the fact that military service is a type of public service, and the state provides social guarantees to military servicemen, particularly regarding housing. Therefore, such disputes should be considered in administrative courts, not civil courts.
Court Decision: To cancel the ruling of the appellate administrative court and refer the case for further consideration in the appellate administrative court.
