Judicial pause in building demolition case
In September of this year, the Supreme Court ruled to suspend the enforcement of decisions regarding the demolition of an unfinished building belonging to Borys Bey's Syla-Sylenna LLC. The object is located at 7a Victory Square in the centre of Zhytomyr. On 20 October, the court additionally suspended the cassation proceedings. This decision is linked to the need to adopt a legal conclusion in another case concerning the powers of the prosecutor's office. Consequently, the issue of freeing up municipal land remains open and is the subject of ongoing litigation.
History of the object and land transfer
According to facts established by the court, the city council had already refused entrepreneur Iryna Margolina's application to restore her right to use the land plot in 2014. It is worth noting that her husband, Zhytomyr businessman Oleksandr Margolin, represented the interests of the developer of this plot in 2013.
Despite the existing refusal of land use, in 2017 Iryna Margolina registered an unfinished hairdresser's, which had a completion level of only 8%. In 2024, she transferred this object to the charter capital of the company Syla-Sylenna, of which Margolina herself was the founder. Later, Borys Bey became the head of the enterprise. In December 2025, city council deputies approved the sale of the land to this company.
Registration procedure violations
A separate aspect of the judicial review was the establishment of the fact that the declaration of the start of construction was registered only after the right to use the plot had been terminated.
