Gorlovka eparchy wins at Supreme Commercial Court of Ukraine

On August 8 the Supreme Commercial Court of Ukraine in Kiev ruled a final decision in favor of Gorlovka eparchy. The litigation was about the unlawful corrections introduced to the minutes of the parochial meeting of Sretensky temple of Konstantinovka city over April 2015. According to this protocol, the temple was to be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Kiev Patriarchate. The Supreme Court recognized the protocol to be illegitimate. This is reported by the site of the eparchy.

The Kiev Patriarchate’s lawyer did not arrive at the court hearing.

The schismatics can no longer appeal this case in any instance.

At the same time, the final nail in the case with the Sretensky temple has not been driven yet. On September 7 there will be a meeting of the court of last resort in the case regarding the change of confessional identity.
