1. **Subject Matter of the Dispute:** Challenging an order of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine on the cancellation of the state registration of ownership rights to a land plot, which was carried out in favor of a person associated with the aggressor state, in violation of the established moratorium.<\/p>\n
2. **Arguments of the Court:**
\n – The Court, referring to the position of the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court dated September 3, 2025 (case No. 910\/2546\/22), departed from previous conclusions regarding the impossibility of effective protection of rights through challenging orders of the Ministry of Justice, recognizing such a method of protection as appropriate.
\n – The Court established that at the time of the transaction, Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 187 was in effect, which expressly prohibited the alienation of real estate by persons associated with the aggressor state.
\n – It was confirmed that the seller of the land plot held citizenship of the Russian Federation, which automatically fell under the scope of the moratorium, regardless of whether the seller possessed other citizenship or a residence permit.
\n – The Court emphasized that the Ministry of Justice, within the scope of its powers, rightfully assessed the legality of the administrative registration procedure, having identified violations of the general principles of state registration of rights.
\n – The plaintiff’s arguments regarding the violation of the time limits for filing a complaint by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) were rejected, as the complainant is not a party to the private-law relations and became aware of the violation within the framework of counterintelligence measures.
\n – The Court also noted that the Ministry of Justice is a proper defendant in such cases, as it was its order that served as the basis for depriving the plaintiff of the right of ownership.<\/p>\n
3. **Court Ruling:** The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the courts of first and appellate instances and dismissed the cassation appeal, confirming the legality of the cancellation of the registration action.<\/p>\n
