In Ukraine, due to mobilization, many questions arise regarding the correctness of serving summonses. In a comment for UNIAN, lawyer Dmytro Franchuk explained when a summons is considered to have been served in accordance with Ukrainian legislation. According to him, if the summons was left in the mailbox, given to relatives or neighbors, it is not considered served.
The lawyer stressed that the employer is obliged to ensure that the summons is handed over to the conscript personally. In order for a summons sent by mail to be considered served, several conditions must be met:
- The summons must be sent by registered mail with acknowledgment of service.
- The conscript must personally sign the receipt of the letter.
- The presence of a notice of delivery by mail, which confirms the fact of delivery or the reason for non-delivery.
It is also worth noting that even if the recipient did not collect the letter from the post office, the summons will be considered served. For this, there is a certain period during which you need to pick up the letter.
From December 1, new fines for conscripts who violate the rules of military registration come into force. Lawyer Roman Simutin explained what punishments can be applied to men who do not notify the authorities about a change of residence or other data, as required by law.
