The Odesa District Administrative Court refused to hear the lawsuit of the former director of the Department of Territorial Development of the Kherson Regional State Administration, Svitlana Vasina, which she filed against her own department.
The corresponding ruling was published on the website of the Unified State Register of Court Decisions.
In August this year Vasina filed a lawsuit demanding that the department’s orders be declared illegal and annulled, which, in her view, unlawfully set her a length-of-service allowance in the civil service in the amount of 2% of the official salary for each year of service.
However, the court found that Vasina filed the lawsuit late, and her explanations for why the deadlines were missed proved unconvincing.
In particular, the court noted that the orders challenged by the former director were signed by her herself, and the salary certificate she cited as evidence of rights violations she issued to herself.
Furthermore, references to martial law and shelling of Kherson do not substantiate that she could not have filed with the court on time.
Therefore, the court decided to leave her lawsuit without consideration.
Recall that last year Svitlana Vasina was charged with inflating the cost of technical inspections of social infrastructure facilities that were damaged due to the war, however, due to the lack of sufficient evidence she was released her on bail, being obliged to wear an electronic bracelet, which was removed a few months later.
At the end of August this year Svitlana Vasina was dismissed from the KhODA. According to MOST sources, the dismissal was not very expected for Vasina and the deputy head of the OVA Anton Samoylenko.
After her dismissal the department’s leadership has already changed twice.
