Subject of Dispute: Invalidation of the Contract for Biological Cleaning of the Inlet Canal and Water Body Release.
Main Court Arguments:
The court established that the contract is a simulated transaction that actually conceals the transfer of a land plot with a water body for fishery purposes. The Kilia Interdistrict Water Management Department did not have the authority to transfer the water body for use, as it is only its permanent user. The contract effectively allowed the “Dunayagroservice” society to conduct entrepreneurial activities in fish breeding without adhering to the legally established procedure.
Court Decision: Declare the contract invalid and oblige the society to vacate the water body with an area of 3.9 hectares on Stepovyi Island.
