The UNBA explained what could undermine the plan to introduce plea agreements
Information regarding who pays whom, how much, and on what grounds under a plea agreement must be made public. However, as long as this information is classified as a state secret or personal data, the court will continue to be able to close proceedings and restrict access to judgments.

Proceedings against military personnel following AWOL require clear deadlines — UNBA
A soldier’s return to duty after AWOL does not necessarily mean the end of criminal proceedings. To ensure that the case does not remain at the pretrial investigation stage, a clear procedure for the investigator and prosecutor is required.

A one-time payment or royalties? Students were briefed on changes to copyright agreements
As a general rule, property rights to a work created by an employee are transferred to the employer, but the author retains the right to remuneration. European law requires that this remuneration be based on the actual income generated by the work, rather than being limited to a one-time payment.

Fines for loud exhaust — based on a standardized measurement method — UNBA
Measures to combat intentionally loud exhaust noises are justified, especially during wartime. However, as long as the law does not specify which noise standard to apply or how to measure it on the road, this new liability can be neither fair nor effective.

Living abroad doesn't sever your ties with Ukraine: what you should check
Moving to another country and even long-term residence abroad does not automatically sever an individual’s legal ties to Ukraine. Tax residency, sole proprietorship status, foreign income, enforcement proceedings, and military registration remain relevant even after relocation.
Legislation
Exceptions to the state prosecutor's representation in court must be consistent with the CCU's decision
To prevent the provisions of Article 23 of the Law «On the prosecutor’s office» from being declared unconstitutional again, the proposed amendments contained in the government’s draft law should be clarified.
