The High Administrative Court of Ukraine has dismissed the lawsuit against Viktor Yushchenko filed by lawyer Stanislav Batryn to recognize the former president's actions during the gas conflict with Russia in late 2008 and early 2009 as unlawful, Lions Litigate law firm reports.
“The court claims that the plaintiff has missed the six-month time limit for filing charges,” the law firm headed by Batryn said.
Batryn filed the lawsuit in June. Earlier, he appealed to the government and the State Property Fund to invalidate the gas supply contracts signed by Naftogaz and Gazprom on January 19, 2009. The Kyiv District Administrative Court opened proceedings in the case in April.
