Entry into force of DAC decisions: Constitutional Court confirms constitutionality of provision of Law on advocacy

Part 3 of Article 57 of the Law «On advocacy and legal practice», according to which decisions of bar self-government bodies come into force on the day of their adoption, unless another term is provided for by the decisions, complies with the Constitution of Ukraine.

The relevant decision No. 4-r(II)/2025 was adopted today, September 10, by the Second senate of the Constitutional Court in the case of Vyacheslav Pleskach's constitutional complaint.

The author of the petition claimed that the provision of Part 3 of Article 57 of the Law contradicts Article 57 of the Constitution of Ukraine, as it violates his right to know his rights and obligations as defined by the regulatory acts of the BCU, which were not officially published in accordance with the procedure established by law.

«Having examined the issues raised in the constitutional complaint, the Court concluded that the contested provision complies with the Constitution of Ukraine», - the Constitutional Court said in a statement.

Oleg Pervomaiskyi was the reporting judge in the case.

The Constitutional Court promises to publish the text of the decision and its summary in the near future.
