2. the subject composition of the participants in the dispute.

With regard to jurisdiction, claims for rights to land plots, subsoil plots, buildings, including residential and non-residential premises, buildings, structures, other objects firmly connected with land, as well as for the release of property from arrest, are filed with the court at the location land plots (other objects).

After determining the jurisdiction and jurisdiction of a particular land dispute, a statement of claim is drawn up, which must contain all the circumstances of the violation of the plaintiff’s rights. Without fail, the statement of claim must contain the names of the parties, their exact addresses of residence or location, the price of the claim, the circumstances that act as justification for the claim, as well as a complete list of all petitions attached to the document.
