Cases related to the Lower Lavra have been transferred to the Supreme Court, particularly regarding the disqualification of monks from participating in the legal proceedings as a third party. All hearings in the appellate court are postponed until decisions are made by the Supreme Court. This was reported on April 25, 2024, in his Telegram channel by Archpriest Nikita Chekman.
Father Nikita explained that the session in the Northern Appellate Commercial Court regarding the annulment of the unilateral termination of the agreement between the Reserve and the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which was scheduled for April 25, will not take place.
"Since the monks have filed cassation complaints with the Supreme Court regarding the unlawful closure of proceedings on their appellate complaints, the case has been suspended and referred to the Supreme Court," said the lawyer.
The lawyer also noted that the Supreme Court is currently reviewing two other cases related to the Lower Lavra.
"During the consideration of the cases in the Supreme Court, their consideration in the appellate court is suspended," he emphasized. "We hope that the Supreme Court will finally assess the unlawful closure of cases regarding the monks. After these complaints are reviewed in the Supreme Court, we will continue to directly consider the cases in the Northern Appellate Commercial Court."
As reported by the UOJ, a representative of the Verkhovna Rada on human rights will handle the case of "Lavra activists".
