09.04.2023

With the assistance of Valerii Lukomskyi, senior partner of Salkom Law Firm, the rights of a Ukrainian citizen were successfully defended pro bono, who requested that the courts establish the fact of the death of a Ukrainian citizen who died in the occupied territory of the Republic of Georgia, specifically in the territory of Abkhazia. As a result of the cassation review of the case, the Supreme Court declared the decisions of the first and appellate instances denying the application to be erroneous because "the ambiguity of procedural law provisions cannot be interpreted against the applicants and restrict their right to judicial protection, including in separate proceedings, since in Ukraine the jurisdiction of courts extends to any legal dispute."
