Strengthening administrative procedures

Amend the procedural codes to transfer the judicial review of exemplary administrative cases against national state agencies to the Supreme Court, as a court of first instance, and to the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court, as an appellate court. In further consultation with stakeholders and agreement with IMF staff, the criteria for determining exemplary administrative cases to be transferred to the Supreme Court will be finalized by end-August 2020. The criteria will include such factors such as cases of national importance, cases above a pre-determined threshold amount, or having significant impact or damage to the country, and will cover the decisions, acts or omissions of specific national state agencies (such as Cabinet of Ministers, Ministries, National Bank of Ukraine, Anti-Monopoly Committee, HCJ,
NABU, NACP, HACC).

To foster greater efficiencies in courts, Law No. 2020/460-IX has been enacted, which will
optimize court procedures by reducing the heavy caseload of courts and rationalize the
ability of administrative courts to suspend the decisions of national state agencies.
