A conscript in Lviv region won a court case against the Military Commissariat for ignoring his request for a deferment.

As stated in the ruling published in the court registry in November 2024, a conscript from Lviv region provides constant care for his grandmother, who has a first-degree disability. In May of this year, he submitted a package of documents to the Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support (TCRC) to request a deferment from conscription during mobilization. However, his documents were received by the military enlistment office and subsequently ignored. The resident of Lviv region then turned to the court, seeking to declare the actions of the TCRC employees unlawful and to compel them to review the documents he had sent by mail.

In Lviv region, the TCC and SP (formerly the military enlistment office) disregarded a request for a deferment from mobilization that a conscript had sent by mail. A resident of Lviv region deemed the actions of the TCC employees illegal and compelled them through the court to consider the documents.

As stated in the ruling published in the court register in November 2024, the conscript from Lviv region provides constant care for his grandmother, who has a first-group disability. In May of this year, he sent a package of documents to the TCC to obtain a deferment from conscription during mobilization. The military enlistment office received his documents but chose to ignore them. The resident of Lviv region turned to the court to declare the actions of the TCC employees illegal and to compel them to consider the mailed documents.

The case materials indicate that the TCC representative did not exercise the right to submit a response to the lawsuit and explain their actions. It is worth noting that in similar cases, TCC employees may refuse to consider mailed documents, demanding "the man's personal presence at the TCC."

The case was presided over by Judge Zoryana Lun, who examined the materials and arguments. She found that the TCC did not consider the conscript's request, and therefore, the inaction of the military enlistment office employees is unlawful. The judge ordered the TCC to review the mailed request, taking into account the court's conclusions. The decision can still be appealed.
