Case "Kolomoiskyi v. Ukraine"

Violation of legislation within the framework of the case:

In October 2021, Judge Bohdan Lviv from the Commercial Court of Cassation in the Chamber of the Supreme Court transferred Kolomoisky's case to the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court. Lviv has a great chance to become the head of the Supreme Court, because the previous head of the court, Valentina Danishevska, has resigned. That is, in fact, he simply transferred the matter to himself.

The judge is a friend of lawyer Ihor Kolomoiskyi, ex-head of Zelenskyi OP Andrii Bohdan.

Involvement in other cases that had public resonance (in which case was noticed, status within this case, year, month):

In 2019, Kolomoiskyi's company canceled a 40 million hryvnias fine from AMCU through the court for conspiracy at Ukrnafta auctions. One of the judges was Bohdan Lviv, judge of the Commercial Court of Cassation.

In 2019, journalist Maryna Ansiforova published an audio recording of a secret meeting of heads of commercial courts in November 2015 on the eve of the next Congress of Judges.

The meeting was chaired by Bohdan Lviv, then head of the Higher Economic Court. Currently, he is the chairman of the new Commercial Court of Cassation and at the same time the deputy chairman of the Supreme Court.

Then the Congress had to resolve three key personnel issues - to elect a judge of the Constitutional Court, two members of the High Qualification Commission and a new composition of the Council of Judges of Ukraine.

Bohdan Lviv, as if the director of the factory for the production of court decisions, told the audience who they should vote for. And he did not just inform, but demanded to take out a pen and a piece of paper and write down the necessary surnames. The judges voted as they should.
