On April 4, 2024, the Northern Commercial Court of Appeal will hold a hearing on the termination of the lease agreement with the Lavra. This was announced by the Lavra's lawyer, Archpriest Nikita Chekman, in his Telegram channel.

"Dear friends, tomorrow on April 4, 2024, at 11:30 in the Northern Commercial Court of Appeal, the case on the termination of the lease agreement for the premises of the Lower Lavra will be considered! We ask for your holy prayers!"

As reported by the UOJ, on March 28, the court hearing on the Lavra monks' eviction was postponed due to the self-recusal of one of the judges.
