What the calculator takes into account
The Civil Procedure Code provides a 30-day period to apply for review of a court decision based on newly discovered circumstances. The start date depends on the ground: a material circumstance, a criminal conviction or ruling, or cancellation of the decision that served as the basis.
Separate outer limits run from the date the decision enters into force: 3 years for material circumstances and 10 years for other grounds and exceptional circumstances. These limits generally cannot be renewed, so check them before preparing an application.

Calculation example
A party to a civil case in Kyiv learned of a material circumstance on June 5, 2026.
- Scenario: material circumstance
- Start date: 05.06.2026
- Period: 30 calendar days
Estimated last day to file the application: July 6, 2026, because July 5 falls on a Sunday.

Frequently asked questions
What is a newly discovered circumstance?
This is a material circumstance for the case that existed when it was considered but was not and could not have been known to the applicant. A new document or disagreement with the assessment of evidence will not always qualify.
Why does the calculator not calculate 3 or 10 years?
This requires the date the decision became final and the precise ground for review. Without these details, an automated conclusion may be unsafe.
Where to file the application?
It depends on which decision is being reviewed and the grounds for the application. Filing rules are usually set out in Article 425 of the Civil Procedure Code.
Can an application be filed after cassation?
Yes, but this is not a substitute for cassation or a rehearing of all arguments. You must establish the specific ground for review based on newly discovered circumstances and meet the time limits.
