Kyiv Court of Appeals has rejected a ruling by Podilsky District Court in Kyiv partially satisfying the demands of the Ukrainian Human Rights Alliance with respect to Deputy Chairman of the Batkivschyna Party Hryhoriy Nemyria.

"Nemyria's appeal has been satisfied. The ruling of Podilsky Court of December 5, 2012 has been cancelled. All lawsuits of the Ukrainian Human Rights Alliance have been rejected," reads a court ruling, which was read out by presiding judge Olena Kabanchenko.

Nemyria's lawyer, Mykola Tytarenko, told Interfax-Ukraine that his client's position in Kyiv Court of Appeals concerned the fact that requests for information were sent to an unknown address. In addition, the law on access to public information, to which the Ukrainian Human Rights Alliance refers, cannot be applied to Nemyria, as he was no longer a civil servant when these information requests were sent.

The lawyer also noted that the law on information does not contain the obligation to provide the requested information in any form.

"It only guarantees the right to an address, but at the same time it does not specify the mechanism and time of the submission of an address," Tytarenko said.

As reported, in 2012, the Ukrainian Human Rights Alliance filed a lawsuit against Nemyria wishing to find out with which British PR companies he cooperated when he served as deputy prime minister. Podilsky District Court in Kyiv, according to media reports, accepted the suit for consideration.

In addition, some media outlets refer to the Web site nemyrialeaks.com, which posted alleged copies of documents with information about the accounts, to which, according to the authors of this Web site, Nemyria paid for PR services to British company Ridge Consulting for several years.

Nemyria's lawyer, Tytarenko, earlier told Interfax-Ukraine that Podilsky District Court in Kyiv obliged Nemyria to provide information to the Ukrainian Human Rights Alliance about reports that were published on the Web site nemyrialeaks.com, thus satisfying the relevant claim by the alliance. The lawyer also denied any involvement of his client in the allegedly illegal financing of the Batkivschyna Party through offshore companies.
