Case: land affairs

Land cases are legal disputes over ownership, lease, boundaries, or development of land. Such cases often challenge the actions of government agencies or protect the rights of owners or tenants.

During the “wild” privatization, most Ukrainians did not rush to the state bodies to formalize ownership rights – a court decision was enough. They lived like that until the mass cancellation began. Since 2010, the prosecutor’s office finds ownership rights through the court, and if the building has at least some social significance, it cancels the decision to transfer the land.

This story also happened to our client, who combined his two warehouses into one and was charged with unauthorized construction on a plot belonging to the city. It would seem to be a typical story, but the lawyers of the company “DE-JURE” found an important nuance – and now the client has every chance of preserving his property.

– Indeed, this is a relevant story for a large number of people, and I had to conduct 80-90 such cases in production, – comments Larisa Kis, a lawyer at the law company “DE-JURE”. — Most of them are considered according to the same template, but in this case they did not take into account that the land plot is leased until 2053! That is, until the return deadline has arrived, this is interference in private business. Thus, we have a good chance of winning.
