Odesa District Administrative Court partially satisfied the claim of retired judge Oksana Chernysh against the Pension Fund of Ukraine and ordered a recalculation of her monthly lifetime monetary allowance.
This is stated in the court’s decision.
Oksana Chernysh appealed the decision of the Main Directorate of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in Donetsk and Kherson regions, which had calculated her lifetime monetary allowance at 50% of the judicial remuneration, taking into account 20 years 8 months of service.
The plaintiff insisted that her actual length of service is 26 years 1 month 25 days and should be taken into account when determining the amount of payments, which entitles her to 62% of the judicial remuneration.
The court found that the Pension Fund incorrectly determined the length of service, failing to take into account half of the period of study and part of the professional experience. As a result, the court ordered a recalculation to 62%.
Recall that Oksana Chernysh worked as a judge of the Kherson City Court from September 2019.
In February this year Chernysh by her decision reinstated to the position the director of the Kherson State House of Artistic Creativity, Valeriy Vysovnya, who had been dismissed for collaborating with Russians, ordering the state to pay him almost 270 thousand hryvnias.
In 2019 the judge refused to impose a preventive measure for regional council deputy Yevhen Ryshchuk, who was attacking people while intoxicated.
In 2020 she helped lift the seizure from the Cardan Shaft Plant, which helped raiders steal the enterprise.
In 2021 she actually dhelped to collapse the case about the so-called “Montenegrin sand”.
In August 2025 she was dismissed into retirement.
