Case: We protected the ownership of a land plot near the Dnieper River and defended the client’s interests in court
Service: Protection of Land Ownership Rights
Client’s Situation
A client approached Prikhodko & Partners Law Firm after the prosecutor’s office attempted to revoke their ownership rights to a land plot located near the Dnipro River.
At first glance, it appeared to be a typical land dispute.
However, the situation was serious because:
- the prosecutor’s office filed a lawsuit seeking cancellation of the client’s ownership rights;
- the claim alleged that the land plot was located within the coastal protective zone of the Dnipro River;
- the land plot was classified as water fund land;
- the legality of transferring the land into private ownership was challenged;
- there was a real risk of losing the land plot.
That is why the client sought professional legal representation to preserve their lawful ownership rights.
What Did We Do?
1. Conducted an Initial Case Analysis and Developed a Defence Strategy
- Analysed the prosecutor’s claim;
- reviewed the documents concerning acquisition of ownership rights;
- assessed the risks of losing the land plot;
- developed a legal position to defend the client in court.
This allowed us to identify weaknesses in the prosecutor’s position from the outset and build an effective defence strategy.
2. Analysed Land Management Documentation
We thoroughly examined the documents related to the formation and transfer of the land plot:
- land management documentation;
- documents concerning the allocation of the land plot;
- grounds for the client’s acquisition of ownership rights;
- materials regarding the designated purpose of the land.
3. Examined Urban Planning Documentation and the Location of the Plot
Particular attention was paid to the actual location of the land plot:
- analysed urban planning documentation;
- verified information regarding the boundaries of the coastal protective zone;
- evaluated the prosecutor’s arguments concerning the classification of the land as water fund land;
- compared the factual data with the requirements of land legislation.
4. Proved the Legality of the Land Allocation
In court, we demonstrated that:
- the order allocating the land plot was issued lawfully;
- the procedure for transferring the land into ownership was properly followed;
- the client’s ownership rights arose on lawful grounds;
- there were no legal grounds for cancelling the ownership rights.
5. Refuted the Prosecutor’s Arguments
The prosecutor’s position was based on allegations of violations during the transfer of the land plot and changes to its designated purpose.
We proved that:
- the change of designated purpose did not violate legal requirements;
- the arguments concerning the land plot’s classification as water fund land were unfounded;
- the interests of the state and the local community had not been infringed;
- the prosecutor’s claims were not supported by sufficient evidence.
6. Represented the Client in Court
We provided full legal support throughout the proceedings:
- prepared procedural documents;
- developed a comprehensive body of evidence;
- represented the client during court hearings;
- secured judicial support for the defence position.
Result
- The court supported the defence position
- The client’s ownership rights were preserved
- The prosecutor’s claims were effectively refuted
- The land plot remained the client’s property
- The risk of losing the land was eliminated
The client retained their lawful ownership rights to the land plot near the Dnipro River and avoided significant financial losses.
