This Ruling of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine is a procedural decision on the refusal to initiate proceedings regarding a constitutional complaint filed by a citizen concerning the review of certain provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) of Ukraine. The Court concluded that the applicant failed to provide adequate justification for the unconstitutionality of the challenged provisions and, in fact, expressed disagreement with specific judicial decisions in their case. Thus, the complaint was declared inadmissible due to non-compliance with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On the Constitutional Court of Ukraine.”<\/p>\n
**Structure and Content:**
\nThe ruling consists of a descriptive part, which sets out the essence of the applicant’s demands, and a reasoning part, where the Court explains the grounds for the refusal. The main focus is on the analysis of the requirements for a constitutional complaint, in particular, the applicant\u2019s obligation to prove that it is the challenged legal provision that led to the violation of their constitutional rights. Compared to the previous stages of consideration, this ruling is a final procedural act of the First Senate of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, which confirms the panel of judges\u2019 position regarding the impossibility of considering the case on its merits.<\/p>\n
**Important Provisions:**
\n1. **Subject of the Challenge:** Article 309 of the CPC of Ukraine, which defines the list of rulings of an investigating judge that are subject to appellate review during pre-trial investigation.
\n2. **Admissibility Criteria:** The Court emphasized that disagreement with judicial decisions is not an argument for declaring a law unconstitutional. To initiate proceedings, an applicant is obliged to provide legal justification as to why exactly a legal provision contradicts the Constitution.
\n3. **Procedural Finality:** The ruling is final and not subject to appeal, which precludes the possibility of reviewing the specified provisions of the CPC within the framework of this particular constitutional complaint.<\/p>\n
