The Northern Appeal Economic Court granted the prosecutor's appeal, annulled the decision of the Economic Court of Kyiv, and issued a new ruling that declared the electronic auction and the purchase and sale agreement invalid, as well as obligated the private enterprise to return the real estate of the former medical facility in the Sarny region.

In 2020, the Rivne Regional Council reorganized the Strashiv Tuberculosis Hospital by merging it with the KP "Rivne Regional Phthisiopulmonology Medical Center" of the Regional State Administration. Subsequently, the disputed property of the medical facility was allowed to be privatized through an auction sale without conditions.

In the electronic auction, nearly 2,500 square meters of real estate, including treatment buildings, administrative and auxiliary premises, were purchased by an industrial enterprise for over 1.2 million UAH.

However, prosecutors established that the Strashiv Tuberculosis Hospital is classified as a facility of social and cultural purpose, and therefore its privatization is only possible on the condition of maintaining its operational profile. Moreover, the purchase and sale agreement contains no provisions regarding the profile, which is illegal and could lead to its alteration.

The prosecutor's office appealed to the court to return the property to its rightful owner – the Rivne Regional Council. The first-instance court sided with the defendant; however, the Northern Appeal Economic Court supported the prosecutor's position and granted the claim in full.
