LCF Law Group Helps Service Member Defend His Right to Military Pay During Medical Treatment

LCF Law Group represented a service member who did not receive military pay during an extended period of medical treatment. The LCF team challenged this inaction in court and established the client’s right to receive the unpaid military pay. The court of first instance upheld the claim. The military unit appealed, but the court of appeal dismissed the appeal. The Supreme Court declined to initiate cassation proceedings. Although the court decision was final, the client did not receive the funds for an extended period. The LCF team initiated enforcement proceedings to ensure compliance with the judgment.

Meanwhile, the service member continued to be denied military pay for a subsequent period of medical treatment. Because these payments were not included in the initial court decision, LCF lawyers filed a new claim. In the new claim, the team sought payment of military pay for the additional treatment period and compensation for income lost due to the delayed payment. The court fully supported the client’s position and granted the claim in full.

This pro bono case demonstrates the protection of service members’ rights to financial support during medical treatment. It also confirms that military units may be held responsible for both non-payment and the consequences of delayed payments.

The project was handled by the LCF Law Group team: Anastasiia Didenko, Counsel and Head of White-Collar Crime, Anti-Corruption & Compliance, and Danylo Makarenko, Junior Associate of LCF Law Group.

Pro bono support for Ukrainian service members: three cases from LCF Law Group’s practice

While service members defend Ukraine, their legal issues require the same level of attention.

LCF Law Group shares three pro bono cases from its practice: establishing the paternity of a service member, supporting the family of a fallen defender in obtaining state assistance, and challenging a fine imposed on a service member while he was performing combat duties.

Although these matters differ in substance, they share the same purpose: protecting the rights of those who protect Ukraine, as well as the rights of their families.

LCF Law Group’s pro bono work is led by Anastasiia Didenko, Counsel. These cases were handled by Vladyslav Levchenko and Danylo Makarenko.

Help to the Kharkiv Regional Perinatal Center

Life must go on under any circumstances. And especially in wartime, it is so important to maintain a new life.

LCF participated in the purchase of a transport closed incubator with a transport device for artificial lung ventilation for the Kharkiv Regional Perinatal Center as part of the Regional Clinical Hospital., which became critically necessary for the Center after February 24, 2022. This equipment allows babies to be safely moved to a basement or bomb shelter without losing temperature, which is critical for the premature babies. The equipment has uninterrupted power supply, is equipped with sensors, filters, breathing devices for newborns, so it supports the vital activity of the baby both during transportation and during stay in unsuitable rooms.

So, according to the management of the Center, today the delivery unit, neonatal resuscitation and the basement are fitted with all the equipment that saves children’s lives.
