The legislative act determines peculiarities of proceedings in cases on establishing the fact of birth or death of an individual in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.

The Law supplements the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine with Article 2571 as follows:

"1. The application for establishing the fact of birth of a person in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, defined by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, may be submitted by parents, relatives, their representatives or other legal representatives of a child to any court outside such territory of Ukraine irrespective of the place of residence of the applicant.

The application for establishing the fact of death of a person in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, defined by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, may be submitted by relatives of the deceased or their representatives to a court outside such territory of Ukraine.

2. Cases on establishing the fact of birth or death of a person in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, defined by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, are considered immediately after submission of the relevant application to the court.

3. The judgment made by the court for establishing the fact of birth or death of a person in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, defined by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, shall be executed immediately.

The judgment in cases on establishing the fact of birth or death of a person in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, defined by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, may be challenged under the general procedure envisaged by this Code. Challenging of the judgment does not suspend its execution.

4. A copy of the court judgment is issued to persons involved in the case, immediately after the declaration of the judgment or immediately sent by the court to a body of civil registration at the place of delivering the judgment for the state registration of birth or death of a person."
