Be careful and cautious: Vitebsk lawyers

An activist of the Belarusian Trade Union of Radio and Electronics Workers (BDP REP) Elena Shendyukova approached the Office of the Investigative Committee of Vitebsk region, a statement in which she requests to attract a group of lawyers and judges Vitebsk October court of Vitebsk to justice.

Back in the spring of this year, following the judge's ruling the court of Vitebsk Railway Vorotynskaya Svetlana , Elena Shendyukova consult your solicitor number 2 Vitebsk for legal help . She needed a lawyer to protect her rights in court in a civil case .

In the Legal aid bureau number 2 Shendyukova hired a lawyer Natalia Stankiewicz , paying the cashier institutions 500,000 rubles for the conduct of the case in court. However, the attorney Stankiewicz, without explaining why , never failed to attend court hearings , but on the phone promised to come back if she has opportunities - that is constantly lied to his client.

To force a lawyer to perform his duties , Helen turned to her supervisor - Head yurkonsultatsii number 2 Tatiana Tkachenok . However, this treatment had no result - the lawyer failed to appear in court .

Recourse to the chairman of the Vitebsk Oblast Bar Aline Puzhevich had the same negative result - the lawyer refused to fulfill contractual obligations.

A complaint filed with the head of the Main Department of Justice of the Vitebsk Oblast Executive Committee Alexander Leskovtsu to inactivity representatives of the legal community , was considered a zero-sum for trade union activists .

After a long ordeal, the woman was forced to hire another lawyer who brought the case before the end of Helena .

Considering that the lawyer Stankiewicz has not fulfilled some of the items made ??with her ??contract Shendyukova tried to return the money - the amount of the cash payment yurkonsultatsii number 2, but she did not return the money .

Then Elena turned to the October court claims. She asked the court to charge the yurkonsultatsii number two in advance for conducting a civil case in court, as well as recover from it and from the Vitebsk Regional Bar Association money in the amount of one million rubles from each institution - compensation for moral damage .

At this time, none of the city attorney has claimed the courage to participate in the case against lawyers , citing professional ethics and solidarity.

Judge Victoria Leshenko , which considered the case , Shendyukovoy twice refused to meet her application for admission to participate in the legal inspector BDP REP Valeria Misnikova . Valery had every reason to be a defender Shendyukovoy in court, since he had the power of attorney issued by the union. According to him , depriving the activist right to defense, the judge Leshenko committed malpractice .

Elena Shendyukova confident that led the trial judge prejudiced , openly taking sides with lawyers. She had the impression that the judge did not perform Leshenko justice , and organized a kind of competition between the three highly experienced lawyers and attorneys it - an illiterate woman in legal matters .

To stop this outrage , Elena filed motivated and justified by the law Leshenko disqualification of a judge who was rejected unfounded . The result of this was the refusal of judicial bullying Shandyukovoy 's claim to the lawyers. Moreover , the judge decided Leshenko recover from the plaintiff's state fee of 805 thousand rubles.

"All the conduct of lawyers , judges and then told me that these people - together, they use their position , are enriched by open violation of the Constitution , laws , rights and legal interests of those who turned to him , naively trusting in their honesty and faithful performance of duty for one salary ", - said Elena Shendyukova .

"I am now convinced that the fraudsters gipsy more noble in their actions (fraud because it's their job ) than the fraudsters - lawyers and the judge , as they feature education, knowledge of the law , and work - protection of rights and justice, but not fraud . But it turned out differently ", - complains trade union activist .

The only way out of this situation, Elena Shendyukova sees involvement of officials - judges Leshchenko lawyer yurkonsultatsii number 2 Stankiewicz and head the same advice Tkachenok and as chairman of the Vitebsk Oblast Bar Puzhevich - to justice.
