Courts have reviewed 314 cases regarding the cancellation of new fines from military enlistment offices

At least 314 cases challenging fines from military enlistment offices have been reviewed by Ukrainian courts between June and October of this year, following the introduction of new rules and fines for violating military registration requirements.

The number of such cases has been increasing each month: while there were only 10 cases in June, by September, the number of appeals reached 148. As of the beginning of October, 34 cases have already been reviewed.

Opendatabot selectively analyzed cases regarding the cancellation of fines from military enlistment offices, and in most cases, the courts side with the plaintiffs and cancel the fines.

Currently, three main reasons for the cancellation of fines can be identified:

• failure of the military enlistment offices to follow the correct procedure for imposing the fine.
• lack of convincing evidence proving the citizens committed the violations.
• fines are imposed for periods when the new regulations were not yet in effect, which is grounds for cancellation.

It is worth noting that since the beginning of the year, nearly 12,000 fines for violations of military registration have been sent for enforcement.
