Cancellation of state registration of ownership rights based on a court decision
In accordance with the current national legislation (primarily the Law of Ukraine No. 1952-IV), it is possible to appeal the actions of the state registrar to the court. Therefore, it is allowed to cancel registration actions, to recognize as invalid the documents that served as the basis for the registration of property rights, or to recognize the actions of the state registrar as unlawful. In the article, we will examine this issue in more detail.
When is the cancellation of state registration of property rights allowed?
Cancellation of a property right record is a procedure that is allowed only in cases clearly defined by law. The main reason for this is a corresponding court decision. At the same time, it is worth emphasizing that a court decision to cancel the actions of the state registrar, to declare them invalid or to cancel documents is allowed only with the simultaneous resolution of the issue of property rights and their encumbrances in relation to a specific real estate. This was introduced in order to ensure the stability of legal relations in this area.
Moreover, this is also allowed by applying to the Ministry of Justice. But only when obvious violations of the law are identified in the actions of the relevant authorized person.
Court decision on cancellation of state registration of property rights: how to obtain it?
As a general rule, such disputes are considered within the framework of civil or commercial proceedings. In particular, if a dispute arises between individuals, it will be considered by a civil court, and if between legal entities, by a commercial court.
A key aspect when filing a claim is the correct determination of the defendant. In cases of cancellation of state registration, the proper defendant will be the person whose right or encumbrance was registered, and not the state registrar. The latter will be involved in the case as a defendant only if his actions constitute a gross violation of the law. However, the case itself will then be considered within the framework of administrative proceedings.
The procedure for obtaining a court decision itself is as follows:
- preparation and submission of a statement of claim (it is necessary to clearly substantiate the grounds for cancellation and provide appropriate evidence);
- consideration of the case by the court in the procedure of claim proceedings (the parties’ explanations are heard, evidence is examined and a final verdict is adopted);
- receipt of a court decision on satisfaction of the claim claims (gains legal force and can be submitted to the state registrar for the purpose of taking appropriate actions only after the expiration of the term for appeal).
Claim for cancellation of state registration of ownership rights
A statement of claim is the main legal document filed with the court by a person (his representative by proxy) whose rights are violated by the state registration of ownership rights to real estate. The main aspects that should be taken into account are the following:
- first, the claim is filed with the court at the location of the real estate or at the place of residence of the defendant;
- secondly, the application must clearly substantiate the grounds, which may include a violation of the procedure, invalidity of documents, lack of legal grounds for registration, violation of the plaintiff’s rights as a result of illegal registration (for example, in cases of raiding or “double registration”);
- thirdly, in addition to the evidence that the plaintiff submits at his own discretion, it is mandatory to submit copies of it for all parties to the case, a receipt from the bank on payment of the court fee or an application for exemption from paying it (for more details, see the Law of Ukraine No. 3674-VI).
The procedure for canceling the registration of property rights by the state registrar after receiving a court decision
In this case, the state registrar acts according to a special procedure determined by the current national legislation. The main stages include:
- automatic transmission of an electronic copy of the decision on the day it enters into legal force to the registrar;
- formation of an application by the state registrar on the day the court decision is received;
- entry of relevant information into the State Register of Real Rights to Real Property (hereinafter referred to as the RRRP).
After that, the information becomes available for review in an extract from the RRRP. For more detailed information, you can order a consultation with our real estate lawyer.
