The case concerned a Ukrainian national who applied against the decision of the administrative court which rejected his appeal against the inactivity of the State Agency for Refugees on his request to apply for asylum. The applicant is a beneficiary of temporary protection and his request for international protection was refused and not registered.

The Supreme Administrative Court recalled its previous judgement of 14 July 2023 in State Agency for Refugees v Applicants and confirmed the lower court decision. It reiterated that the applicant benefits of temporary protection on basis of the activation of the Temporary protection Directive and that this status was extended until 4 March 2025. The court reiterated that the Order No. РД05-263/08.04.2022 of the President of the SAR provided for the suspension of registration and initiation of proceedings on international protection for displaced persons from Ukraine and instead ordered their registration for temporary protection. The order legality had been confirmed by the same court by the abovementioned judgement.

The court also rejected the request of the applicant to submit questions before the CJEU for interpretation of the TPD and the Implementing Decisions.
