Reinstatement of the term for the enforcement of a foreign court decision

Question

I read that for the enforcement of a foreign court decision in Ukraine, there is a three-year period from the moment it enters into legal force. But if I missed this deadline - do I still have a chance to achieve the enforcement of such a decision? What specific reasons are considered valid for reinstating this period, and what evidence needs to be submitted to the court so that I am not denied compulsory enforcement?

The Supreme Court considered a cassation appeal in a case regarding a petition for permission for the compulsory enforcement on the territory of Ukraine of a Lithuanian court decision on the recovery of funds. The Supreme Court indicated that the validity of reasons for missing the deadline for filing a petition for the compulsory enforcement of a foreign court decision is determined by the court taking into account the applicant's active steps aimed at enforcing such a decision.
