Subject of the Dispute: Invalidation of Local Authorities’ Decisions on Land Plot Transfer to Ownership and Establishing Ownership Rights to this Land Plot through Inheritance.
Main Court Arguments: The Supreme Court established that the land plot was transferred to the plaintiff’s mother for lifelong inheritable possession in 1994 by a village council executive committee decision, which was not cancelled. The court referred to previous practice that a person possessing a land plot under the right of lifelong inheritable possession cannot be deprived of such right. At the same time, the claim was not satisfied due to the statute of limitations expiration – the plaintiff filed a lawsuit 13 years after the contested decision was made.
Court Decision: Reject the claim due to the statute of limitations expiration, but modify the reasoning part of previous court decisions.
