Court grants judge's recusal in the case of Lavra brethren’s eviction
The court session was postponed.
On 17 October 2024, a court session was held at the Northern Appellate Commercial Court regarding the eviction of monks from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, reports a Telegram channel supporting the monastery.
The court session, initially scheduled for October 14, was postponed due to the illness of the judge. A new court panel was appointed, and one of the judges, Vladyslav Sulim, recused himself.
"The court granted Judge Sulim's recusal. The date and time of the next session will be announced later by mail," the message said.
The monastery's press service asked for prayers before the session and shared a photo from the courthouse.
Earlier, the UOJ reported the UOC’s lawyer released a video featuring a serviceman who expressed his desire to defend the monks of the monastery in court, as they are facing eviction from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
