1+1 tells another lie: the Church did not ask for written proceeding in the case against Ministry of Culture, – head of the UOC Law Department

“TSN news agency on 1+1 channel resorted to another falsehood and trick when showing its video plot asserting that “upon the request of the Church the court began a written proceeding,” outraged the UOC representative.

“Actually, it is not true: the UOC representatives did not ask the court about a written proceeding,” explained the protopriest. – “The point is that in the event of absence of a litigant’s legal standing in a case file, i.e. the Ministry of Culture, as well as absence of its representatives at the court session, the court uses its right and begins a written proceeding, which means the court will consider the case based on the available materials (part 6, article 128 of the Code of Administrative Proceeding of Ukraine).”

Earlier the UOJ reported that representatives of the Ministry of Culture did not show up at the court hearing of the case on procrastination of registration of the UOC eparchies and monasteries.
