The Supreme Court of Slovenia delegated jurisdiction from the Ljubljana District Court to the Kranj District Court. The Ljubljana court proposed this transfer because the defendant is the brother of a judge employed at the original court, raising concerns about objective impartiality. The Supreme Court agreed that this specific familial relationship constituted a significant reason for delegation under the relevant procedural law.

Za odločanje v tej zadevi se določi Okrožno sodišče v Kranju.

[JEDRO]

Po oceni Vrhovnega sodišča je glede na naravo in konkretne okoliščine sodnega primera podan razlog za delegacijo pristojnosti.

[OBRAZLOŽITEV]

1. Pristojno Okrožno sodišče v Ljubljani je predlagalo delegacijo pristojnosti, ker je dolžnik brat okrožne sodnice A. A., zaposlene pri predlagajočem sodišču. Zaradi tega bi lahko nastal dvom v objektivno nepristranskost sedaj pristojnega sodišča.

2. Predlog je utemeljen.

3. V skladu z določbo 67. člena Zakona o pravdnem postopku (v nadaljevanju ZPP) lahko pristojno sodišče predlaga določitev drugega stvarno pristojnega sodišča, če so podani razlogi ekonomičnosti postopka ali drugi tehtni razlogi. Med druge tehtne razloge v kontekstu navedene zakonske določbe spadajo tudi primeri, pri katerih bi lahko nastal dvom v objektivno nepristranskost pristojnega sodišča. Po oceni Vrhovnega sodišča je glede na naravo in konkretne okoliščine sodnega primera podan razlog za delegacijo pristojnosti in je zato določilo pristojnost Okrožnega sodišča v Kranju.
