Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia rejected a defendant's request to transfer a civil case from the District Court in Velenj to the District Court in Celj. The defendant argued that merging the proceedings would be efficient, but the court found the request invalid because the two courts do not share the same subject-matter jurisdiction. Consequently, the court ruled that delegation based on procedural efficiency is only permissible when the courts involved possess identical jurisdictional authority.

Predlogu se ne ugodi.

[JEDRO]

Predvidena združitev več pravd, ki tečejo pri različnih sodiščih, bi bila sicer lahko razlog za prenos pristojnosti (ker bi se tako morda laže opravil postopek), vendar samo, če bi šlo za sodišča iste stvarne pristojnosti.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

Pred Okrajnim sodiščem v Velenju teče pravda v kateri toženec predlaga prenos pristojnosti na podlagi 67. člena Zakona o pravdnem postopku (Uradni list RS, št. 26/99 in nasl.). Predlog utemeljuje s stališčem, da je zahtevek povezan z zahtevki, o katerih teče pravda pred Okrožnim sodiščem v Celju ter da bi bilo zato smotrno, da v obeh zadevah odloča isto sodišče (Okrožno sodišče v Celju), saj bi potem lahko pravdi združilo.

Predlog ni utemeljen.

Predvidena združitev več pravd, ki tečejo pri različnih sodiščih, bi bila sicer lahko razlog za prenos pristojnosti (ker bi se tako morda laže opravil postopek), vendar samo, če bi šlo za sodišča iste stvarne pristojnosti. Predmet delegacije iz razlogov smotrnosti je namreč prenos krajevne, ne pa stvarne pristojnosti v konkretni zadevi. Zato zadeve z Okrajnega sodišča v Velenju ni mogoče delegirati na Okrožno sodišče v Celju. In ker prenos na katerokoli drugo okrajno sodišče ne bi bil smotrn, je Vrhovno sodišče predlog za delegacijo zavrnilo.
