Uzhgorod school number 8 will have the land back – prosecutors

Recently, the Court of Appeal in Transcarpathian region, under the active position of Uzhgorod Prosecutors, by its decision obliged to return the school number 8 the land belonging to it.

It was preceded by the appeal of the prosecutor of Uzhgorod against the previous decision of the Uzhgorod city and district court.

Specifically, the prosecutor of Uzhgorod requested Uzhgorod city and district court to cancel the paragraph of the decision of Uzhgorod City Council whereby an individual was granted the title for the land owned by the school number 8 on Ac.Korolyov street. Prosecution of Uzhgorod found out that by the decision of Uzhgorod City Council "On provision and privatization of land" dd. December 26, 2006, the secondary school number 8 was authorized to prepare materials for inventory of the land lot at Ac.Korolyova street, 4, which the school has been using for over thirty years. This land in area of ​​0.9 hectares accommodates a recreation room, sports playground and geographical ground.

However, contrary to the Land Code of Ukraine and its own decision, Uzhgorod City Council July 11, 2008 authorized an individual to draft the allocation project for the same land for individual housing construction.Under the Law of Ukraine "On Education," property of public schools shall not be subject to appropriation.

Given that Uzhgorod City and District Court denied the claim of the prosecutor’s office in Uzhgorod, the prosecution appealed to the Court of Appeal in Transcarpathian region. Therefore, the decision of the Court of Appeal reversed the previous decision of Uzhgorod city and district court. Thus, the prosecution ensured that the school number 8 will have its land back.
