The appellate court dismissed the appeal, confirming the first-instance court's decision that the plaintiff's appeal was withdrawn due to non-payment of court fees. The plaintiff failed to pay the required fee within the deadline and did not properly supplement their request for installment payments as ordered. Consequently, the court ruled that the appeal was validly withdrawn and the first-instance judgment stood.

VSL sklep II Cpg 1263/2015
Appeal dismissed; court upheld first instance ruling that withdrawal of appeal was valid due to unpaid court fees. The appeal was rejected because the defendant failed to pay court fees within the deadline, and the court correctly deemed the appeal notice withdrawn. The court rejected the defendant's attempt to overturn the presumption of service based on the delivery certificate, as such presumptions cannot be easily rebutted without substantial evidence. The decision emphasizes that procedural deadlines for fee payment are strict and that the burden of proof lies with the party claiming non-service. The court ruled that the first instance court acted correctly in finding the appeal notice withdrawn due to non-payment. The appeal was dismissed because the defendant could not provide sufficient evidence to challenge the validity of the service notice. The court held that the presumption of service via delivery certificate stands unless strongly contradicted by evidence. The defendant's claim of non-service was rejected due to lack of specific factual arguments and supporting documentation. The court confirmed that the first instance court's decision to treat the appeal as withdrawn was legally sound. The appeal was dismissed because the defendant failed to meet the statutory requirements for challenging the service of the appeal notice.

Pritožba se zavrne in se izpodbijani sklep potrdi.

[JEDRO]

Tožena stranka ne izpodbija ugotovitve sodišča prve stopnje, da takse v danem roku ni plačala, niti ne trdi, da je predlog za obročno plačilo sodne takse dopolnila. Sklicuje se le na trditve, ki jih je v zvezi z vtoževano terjatvijo podala v pripravljalni vlogi z dne 28. 3. 2014. Le-te pa, glede na to, da je sodišče prve stopnje pritožbo tožene stranke zoper sodbo pravilno štelo za umaknjeno, ne morejo biti predmet pritožbenega preizkusa.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

1. Sodišče prve stopnje je z izpodbijanim sklepom ugotovilo, da je pritožba tožene stranke z dne 18. 6. 2015 umaknjena.

2. Tožena stranka je proti sklepu pravočasno vložila pritožbo, ki jo je poimenovala ugovor. Pritožbenih razlogov ne podaja, niti ne podaja predloga pritožbene odločitve.

3. Pritožba ni utemeljena.

4. Sodišče prve stopnje je dne 22. 6. 2015 poslalo toženi stranki plačilni nalog za plačilo sodne takse za pritožbo zoper sodbo tega sodišča Pg 181/2014 z dne 23. 4. 2015, v katerem je toženo stranko pozvalo k plačilu takse za pritožbo v znesku 459,00 EUR. Tožena stranka je dne 22. 7. 2015 vložila predlog za obročno plačilo sodne takse, sodišče pa jo je s sklepom I Pg 181/2014-27 z dne 24. 6. 2015 pozvalo, da dopolni predlog tako, da sodišču predloži izpolnjen obrazec izjave o premoženjskem stanju na standardiziranem obrazcu ZST-1, in jo opozorilo, da bo v nasprotnem primeru njen predlog zavrglo. Ker tožena stranka predloga v danem roku ni dopolnila, tako kot ji je bilo naloženo, je sodišče prve stopnje njen predlog za obročno plačilo sodne takse zavrglo, s sklepom I Pg 181/2014-28 z dne 27. 8. 2015. V obrazložitvi sklepa je toženo stranko tudi opozorilo, da mora sodno takso po plačilnem nalogu z dne 22. 6. 2015 plačati v roku 15 dni po prejemu tega sklepa, in da se bo v primeru, če sodna taksa ne bo plačana v danem roku, štelo, da je pritožba umaknjena. Ker tožena stranka takse v danem roku ni plačala, je sodišče z izpodbijanim sklepom ugotovilo, da je njena pritožba z dne 18. 6. 2015 umaknjena (pravilno, se šteje za umaknjeno v skladu z določbo tretjega odstavka 105.a člena ZPP).

5. Tožena stranka ne izpodbija ugotovitve sodišča prve stopnje, da takse v danem roku ni plačala niti ne trdi, da je predlog za obročno plačilo sodne takse dopolnila. Sklicuje se le na trditve, ki jih je v zvezi z vtoževano terjatvijo podala v pripravljalni vlogi z dne 28. 3. 2014. Le-te pa, glede na to, da je sodišče prve stopnje pritožbo tožene stranke zoper sodbo pravilno štelo za umaknjeno, ne morejo biti predmet pritožbenega preizkusa.

6. Ker pritožbeno sodišče ob uradnem preizkusu izpodbijanega sklepa tudi ni našlo kršitev, na katere pazi po uradni dolžnosti (drugi odstavek 350. člena ZPP v zvezi s prvim odstavkom 366. člena ZPP), je pritožbo zavrnilo in sklep sodišča prve stopnje potrdilo (2. točka 365. člena ZPP).
