Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Slovenia granted the leave for appeal regarding the legal correctness of lower courts' assessment of causation between the harmful event and the damage. The first-instance court partially awarded damages for a traffic accident while rejecting the claim based on a conclusion of shared causation supported by prior case law. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal because the existing judicial interpretation on shared causation does not yet represent established practice, necessitating a review to ensure legal development.

Legislator headnote

Articles 367a and 367c of the Act on Civil Procedure: The Supreme Court may grant leave for appeal when the lower court's conclusion on shared causation relies on non-established judicial practice, allowing for a review that may clarify the legal standard for causation in tort claims.

Dopusti se revizija glede pravnega vprašanja pravilnosti presoje sodišč nižjih stopenj o vzročni zvezi med škodnim dogodkom in nastalo škodo, tj. glede pravilnosti zaključka o deljeni vzročnosti.

[JEDRO]

Dopusti se revizija glede pravnega vprašanja pravilnosti presoje sodišč nižjih stopenj o vzročni zvezi med škodnim dogodkom in nastalo škodo, tj. glede pravilnosti zaključka o deljeni vzročnosti.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

1. Sodišče prve stopnje je delno ugodilo tožbenemu zahtevku na plačilo odškodnine za škodo, ki jo je tožnik utrpel v prometni nezgodi dne 29. 10. 2010, v presežku pa je zahtevek zavrnilo. Pritožbeno sodišče je zavrnilo tožnikovo pritožbo in potrdilo sodbo sodišča prve stopnje. Delna zavrnitev zahtevka temelji na pravnem zaključku o deljeni vzročnosti, ki sta ga sodišči nižjih stopenj oprli na judikat VS RS II Ips 178/2007.

2. Tožnik je v predlogu za dopustitev revizije po vsebini zastavil pravno vprašanje, ki je razvidno iz izreka tega sklepa.

3. Predlog je utemeljen.

4. Vrhovno sodišče je dopustilo revizijo, ker je od odločitve o reviziji mogoče pričakovati odločitev o pravnem vprašanju, ki je pomembno za razvoj prava preko sodne prakse.(1) Stališče iz judikata II Ips 178/2007 namreč še ne predstavlja ustaljene sodne prakse.
