The Supreme Court granted the cassation appeal of the Volyn Regional Prosecutor's Office, upholding the decision of the Economic Court of the Volyn Region, which satisfied the claim of the regional prosecutor's office: the premises of the architectural monument of local significance must be returned from the illegal possession of a private enterprise to communal ownership.

In December 2021, the Volyn Regional Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit to declare the sale contract of the architectural monument invalid and to oblige the business entity to return it to the communal ownership of the city of Lutsk. 

The building in question is located on an ancient street in the historical and cultural reserve "Old Lutsk," and, according to local historians, is an example of brick style in architecture. In 1986, the building was classified as a monument of local significance, and in 2008 — it was included in the List of cultural heritage monuments that are not subject to privatization. 

Prosecutors established that the privatization of the building took place in 2006, during the period of the Law of Ukraine "On the Temporary Prohibition of the Privatization of Cultural Heritage Monuments" (2005–2008), which categorically prohibited the privatization of any cultural heritage objects. 

In accordance with the ruling of the Supreme Court dated October 15, 2025, and the decision of the Economic Court of the Volyn Region dated May 7, 2025, the business entity will be obliged to return the architectural monument to the ownership of the territorial community.
