A Kyiv court ruled that TCC offices do not have the right to place a person on a wanted list on their own

The Kyiv District Administrative Court sided with a man who downloaded the “Rezerv+” app and discovered that he had been placed on a wanted list by a territorial recruitment center. He had not received any summons, and no administrative offense report or ruling had been issued.

The court’s decision was published in the Unified State Register of Court Decisions.

After updating his registration data in “Rezerv+,” the claimant found that he was listed as wanted for violating military registration rules. This information appeared in the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service, and Reservists. However, he had not been sent any summons and had not been held administratively liable under Articles 210 or 210-1 of Ukraine’s Code of Administrative Offenses. In other words, he became a “violator” only via an electronic entry in the register, without the proper procedural formalities.

In addition, the man was abroad, which he had reported in advance to the registry authority by updating his details in “Rezerv+” and providing his current address of residence. The recruitment center did not respond to the claimant’s lawyer’s inquiry about why the man was labeled a violator, nor did it provide evidence of any violation.

As a result, the court concluded that the recruitment center has no right to independently record violations by persons liable for military service in the register unless the person has been held liable in the legally established manner.

The court ordered the recruitment center to remove the disputed information from the register and to reimburse the claimant for court fees in the amount of 1,211 hryvnias (24 euros).
