	washingtonpost.com: Ukraine's Top Court To Review Election (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The court barred Ukraine's Central Elections Commission from officially publishing the results of the balloting and agreed to begin hearing multiple complaints Monday from Yushchenko and his supporters that the election was marred by widespread fraud.
		Before the Supreme Court decision, the government appeared determined to ignore the protests and Western pressure and to proceed with a transfer of power from Kuchma to Yanukovych, who continued to condemn the protesters and their supporters overseas.
		Ukraine's rail and aviation systems ran normally Thursday, despite Yushchenko's call for a general strike and urging by some of his key supporters for transportation systems and schools to be shuttered.

		Ukraine's Supreme Court continued pending the case connected with the appeal from Ukraine's Social party against the actions of the Central Electoral Committee, which refused to register ex-mayor of the state security Nikolay Melnichenko as the candidate for the position of a deputy in the parliament.

		Alexander Moroz said that the decision of the Supreme Court was made after the authenticity of the audio tapes, made by Nikolay Melnichenko had been proved (the tapes contain the discreditable material against the Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma).

	BRAMA Law Ukraine's Court System
		With Ukraine's push to open capital markets and stimulate business growth and investment ñ central to which is the closing of contracts between parties ñ the arbitration court system has moved from the periphery of Ukraine's still Soviet-based court system to a central position with an ever-increasing docket.
		In Ukraine the length of a lease contract cannot be changed, so the arbitration courts have regularly analyzed contracts to determine the actual length of the agreements, and determine their effect, according to Liudmilla Panova, owner and director of the legal firm Modul.
		She explained that in Ukraine contracts are often poorly written because the parties to the contract are not aware of what a legally enforceable contract must include, which leaves it up to the arbitration court to untangle the mess that can result.

	TREGUBENKO v. UKRAINE - 61333/00 [2004] ECHR 584 (2 November 2004)
		20. On 14 April 1993 the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court of Ukraine (Ухвала Верховного Суду України) quashed the latter judgment and upheld the judgments of 16 October 1991 and 8 April 1992 in the applicant's favour.
		As the Court has repeatedly stated, a “fair balance” must be struck between the demands of the general interest of the community and the requirements of the protection of the individual's fundamental rights, the search for such a fair balance being inherent throughout the Convention.
		Having found a violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention, the Court concludes that, although the correct application of the law is undeniably a “public interest”, in the circumstances of the present case it was pursued in violation of the fundamental principles of legal certainty and access to court.

		The Supreme Court is considering an appeal by Yushchenko's campaign to invalidate the result of the runoff, which the Central Election Commission said Yanukovych won by about 900,000 votes.
		Russia and the West have traded accusations of meddling in Ukraine's vote, and Putin's meeting with Kuchma could revive the ire he raised in Europe and the United States, which have refused to accept the runoff results, by congratulating Yanukovych with a victory before the official outcome was announced, ignoring reports of widespread fraud.
		Ukraine is divided roughly between Yanukovych supporters in the east who favor close Russian ties and Yushchenko backers in the west, wary of Moscow's centuries-old clout in the country and seeking closer relations with Europe.

		The court could decide that the results are so flawed in all parts of the country that the whole process has to be repeated.

	ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE 2004: THEORIES AND PRACTICE
		Further, the Supreme Court concluded that, in accordance with provisions of the "Law on the Election of the President" and the Constitution of Ukraine, the CEC should not be permitted to officially certify the vote because complaints before lower courts were not yet resolved.
		Therefore, the November 21st run-off election was for all practical purposes "invalid." The Supreme Court then determined that the appropriate remedy to redress the violations was to order the CEC to conduct a "repeat second round" of voting in every precinct in Ukraine.
		Local courts were rated the lowest, as a plurality say that this level of the judicial system is influenced a great deal by outside interests and only 2% say that they are not influenced at all.
