Subject of Dispute: Criminal Proceedings against a Person Who Committed Theft of Goods Valued at 297.90 UAH in ATB Store.
Main Arguments of the Court: The Supreme Court established that due to legislative changes that came into effect on August 9, 2024, theft of an amount less than 2 non-taxable minimums (1,762 UAH) is no longer considered a criminal offense, but an administrative violation. The court referred to the resolution of the Joint Chamber of the Cassation Criminal Court, which confirmed that the new law has retroactive effect and cancels criminal liability for such actions.
Court Decision: Revoke previous court decisions and close criminal proceedings in connection with the loss of validity of the law establishing criminal unlawfulness of the act.
