Lavrynovych & Partners won the lawsuit with the State Ecological Inspection of Ukraine
Lavrynovych & Partners’ team defended the rights and interests of Silski Tradytsiyi Ltd. The lawsuit arose with the State Ecological Inspection of Poltava Region, whose interests during the court hearings were represented by prosecution authorities. The client was accused of endamagement totaling more than UAH 13 million through unauthorized use of water resources in the absence of a special permit for subsoil use.
The result of the successful work of firm’s team was the abolition of the decision of penalties of Poltava Regional Economic Court by Kharkov Economic Court of Appeal.
The lawyers managed to convince the Court of Appeal in irregularities of stated requirements and their failure of evidence in the lawsuit. The panel of judges agreed with the given arguments that there were no violations of environmental legislation of Ukraine in client’s activity, and consequently with baseless recoveries of damages.
The legal support has been provided by senior associate Arthur Kiyan supervised by partner Stanislav Skrypnyck.
