We are talking about reaching a malicious agreement with the current head of the enterprise, legally elected and appointed to the position by the owners of the enterprise.<\/p>\n By means of bribery, coercion or threats, the manager could enter into additional agreements with the landowners on the termination of land lease contracts, with subsequent renegotiation of new lease contracts for the enterprise specifically identified by the attackers<\/p>\n From July 26, 2022, the possibility of taking such actions will be more difficult. According to the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Improvement of the Anti-Raiding Mechanism”, adopted on May 12, 2022, the deed (additional agreement, termination agreement, additional agreement, etc.) on the termination of the lease (sublease) of agricultural land, by the lessee ( sublessee), which is a legal entity under private law (except for a joint-stock company, a general partnership and a limited partnership), will be recognized as a significant transaction and will require the prior adoption by the general meeting of participants of a decision to grant consent to its execution. Otherwise, such a deed is null and void.<\/p>\n It should be noted that a void deed does not need to be declared invalid in court. It does not create any legal consequences<\/p>\n Also, the enterprise has the right to directly provide in the statute that such a transaction is not significant and does not require the prior consent of the general meeting of participants. However, we advise you to carefully weigh all possible risks and obtain professional advice from a lawyer before putting such a provision to a vote on the statute.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author:\u00a0Natalia Ponomarenko, attorney at Dynasty Law & Investment Enterprises that use a large “land bank” made up of leased or subleased land plots have always been a delicacy for criminals.
