A fine for breaching the military registration rules is imposed by an official of the territorial recruitment centre (TCC) by a formal decision, and the law allows that decision to be challenged. The deadline is short: 10 days from service of the decision (Art. 286 CAP) or from the day it was issued (Art. 289 CAO). After that it takes legal effect, and challenging a TCC fine then requires a separate application to restore the deadline with evidence of a valid reason. So react as soon as you see the decision in the Reserve+ app, receive it by post, or learn of it from the enforcement service.<\/p>\n

TCCs often issue such decisions in bulk: under Article 210 of the Code of Administrative Offences (breach of the military registration rules) or Article 210-1 (breach of the legislation on defence, mobilisation preparation and mobilisation), frequently without properly notifying the person and without establishing whether they were at fault. During the special period the penalty under Art. 210 for individuals is 17,000\u201325,500 UAH, and under Art. 210-1 for officials 34,000\u201359,500 UAH. Those figures were introduced by Law No. 3696-IX of 9 May 2024 (in force from 19 May 2024), and it is precisely their size that makes it worth checking every decision for procedural defects: a large proportion of them have such defects, and they are grounds for setting the decision aside.<\/p>\n

We analyse the particular decision, establish whether the TCC followed the procedure, whether you were properly notified, and whether the time limit for imposing liability has expired, and build the case on that. Where there are grounds to set it aside, we prepare an administrative claim<\/a> or a complaint to the superior body and see the case through.<\/p>\n

What the TCC fines people for: Articles 210 and 210-1 CAO<\/h2>\n

Liability for military registration is split between two articles. Article 210 CAO covers conscripts, those liable for service and reservists: failing to attend when summoned without a valid reason, not updating personal data, not obtaining registration documents, changing address without telling the TCC. Article 210-1 CAO punishes breaches of the defence and mobilisation legislation, in particular by officials of companies responsible for registering and notifying employees. A company as such cannot be fined under the CAO; the penalty is addressed to a named official.<\/p>\n

Art. 258 CAO<\/b>A detail the TCC does not usually mention: during the special period a decision under Arts. 210 and 210-1 may be issued without a report only where the person was properly notified of the hearing and the TCC holds documents confirming that they received the summons or notice. No proof of service means no lawful basis for the fine \u2014 and that is the strongest ground of challenge.<\/span><\/div>\n

The grounds on which TCC fines are set aside<\/h2>\n

Whether a fine falls depends on the defects in the decision, not on explanations that you were not evading anything. The grounds that usually work are these:<\/p>\n
