Constitutional Complaints Reviewed by Second Senate; Several Cases Dismissed

Proceedings in the Second Senate

According to Конституційний суд: On September 17, 2026, the Second Senate resumed its examination of constitutional complaints during closed plenary sessions. The Second Panel of judges within the Senate decided to reject the initiation of constitutional proceedings in certain cases.

The agenda included complaints submitted by the following individuals:

• Hryhoriy Serhiyovych Syvukhyn and Taras Vasylovych Andreychuk challenged the constitutionality of part three of Article 119 of the Ukrainian Labor Code;
• Tetyana Fedorivna Arkhipova questioned the constitutionality of paragraph 1, part one of Article 424 of the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine;
• Mykola Demianovych Bilyak and Oleksiy Viktorovych Klymenko contested the seventh paragraph of Article 7 of the Law of Ukraine "On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2024";
• Volodymyr Mykhailovych Treyzub appealed against paragraph 2, part three of Article 81 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

These cases will be further deliberated at upcoming plenary sessions.

Final Rulings by the Judicial Panel

In addition, the Second Panel of the Second Senate issued final decisions refusing to open constitutional proceedings in several other cases, including those involving:

• Yuriy Yaroslavovych Boyanivskyi, concerning part four of Article 424 and Article 303 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine;
• Anton Yuriyovych Haiduk, who challenged part six of Article 37 of the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service";
• Valeriy Leonidovych Moloshny, related to part thirteen of Article 10 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Association of Co-Owners of Apartment Buildings";
• Viktor Mykhailovych Senko, regarding parts one and two of Article 10 of the Law of Ukraine "On State Registration of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs, and Public Organizations".

The active consideration of these constitutional complaints in the Second Senate reflects Ukrainian citizens’ engagement in safeguarding their rights through the judiciary. The refusals to initiate proceedings in some cases suggest that judges found these claims either inadmissible or outside the Constitutional Court’s jurisdiction. The continuation of these hearings could significantly shape legal interpretations in Ukraine, particularly in labor, civil, and criminal law sectors.
