A lawsuit regarding the illegal privatization of part of the premises of Lutsk Children's Music School No. 1 was filed by the prosecutor's office of the city of Lutsk in the interests of the state. The plaintiff asks the court to declare illegal and cancel Lutsk City Council decision No. 18/5 of 16.07.2004, and also to declare invalid the purchase and sale agreement of 07.09.2004.
The prosecutor insists that the music school premises belong to category "A". That is, it cannot be privatized under any circumstances. The legal department of the city executive committee insists that these premises belong to category "Zh", meaning it can be privatized.
Before the start of the case hearing, the court granted the prosecutor's motion to join, as a plaintiff, in addition to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the State Communal Enterprise "Lutsk Children's Music School No. 1".
The court also granted the plaintiffs' motion for the presence of media representatives in the courtroom and gave permission for photo and video recording.
Some parents and teachers of the music school staged a picket with banners outside the court walls, demanding the restoration of justice.
