Yesterday, May 4, the Kivertsi District Court in Volyn continued hearing the case on the lawsuit filed by the head of the Rivne Regional State Administration, Vasyl Chervonii, against "Publishing House 'OHO' for refutation of information, protection of honor and dignity, and compensation for moral damages in the amount of 50 thousand hryvnias. The hearing of the case aroused heightened interest among journalists, however Judge Ivan Pidhornyi banned video recording, – reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation. The reason for the lawsuit was a publication in the "Rivne Newspaper," a critical article entitled "Babai under Rivne Sauce." On April 18, during the preliminary hearing, the judge of this court, to which the Supreme Court of Ukraine referred the case, Ivan Pidhornyi, warned the parties that they should be prepared for debates. In anticipation of a decision in this case, more than fifteen journalists arrived in Kivertsi. However, the court granted the motion of the plaintiff's representative Serhii Zautkin to ban video recording. In his opinion, the absence of television journalists during the preliminary court hearings could lead to the mass media presenting distorted information on the merits of the case. Since the plaintiff himself – Vasyl Chervonii – who was summoned by the court to give explanations in the case, did not appear at the hearing due to "excessive busyness," the parties agreed to complete the hearing of the case without him. After hearing the arguments of the parties in the debates, the court announced a recess until May 11. Most likely, it is on that day that the court will announce its decision in the case.
